Timely information is crucial for detecting and responding to animal disease threats. The FAO’s Event Mobile Application (EMA-i+) enhances animal disease surveillance by allowing health officials to report and validate disease events directly from the field. These reports are sent to national platforms for analysis, facilitating informed decision-making and coordinated action.

EMA-i+ connects with national and digital systems to support faster information exchange across animal, human, and environmental health. From initial field observations to national responses, EMA-i+ ensures that the right information reaches the right place at the right time. For more details, visit FAO EMA-i+.
