The Health Threat Unit of the Directorate-General for Health and Consumer Protection (European Commission), is responsible for terrorism surveillance and early warning of biological, chemical, and radiological threats within the European Union. The Health Threat Unit runs the ''Rapid Alert System'', which conducts surveillance on communicable diseases and diseases caused by acts of bioterrorism. The surveillance data are coordinated and evaluated by the ''Health Emergency Operations Facility''. Health threat information and warnings are sent to the member states by the Communication and Crisis Center (''BICHAT'') and the Security Office in Brussels, Belgium. ==Criteria for notification== The BICHAT sends a warning to the EU member states, within one hour of receiving a warning, when there is: * Suspicion of danger * Internationally relevant events; need for a complex response * Need for coordination (investigative and control actions) * Suspicion of deliberate action of a terrorist organization * Risk of trans-frontier spread of the agent/event * Need for assistance from other countries 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Health Threat Unit (European Commission)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
