The combination of changes in eating habits, ways of living, globalisation, extensive travelling and the migration of millions of people around the world may be contributing to increased health risks. Certainly, health crises today are proving highly complex. More and more people are travelling and may carry with them unexpected virus vectors such as mosquitoes. Preparedness is challenging and there is a need for action plans to safeguard the growing at-risk population. Health crises can potentially affect a large proportion of the population and may lead to a significant increase in mortality or to an abnormally high death rate. This should be integrated into the general concept of national and international surveillance in order to provide a prepared response in the event of crisis. This paper provides an inventory of the relevant laws, guidelines and tools in Europe (and to a lesser degree, beyond), and proposes answers to the health crisis problems associated with infectious and communicable diseases. In crisis management, communication is an important factor to consider. This paper can serve as a tool for people involved in crisis preparedness.
饮食习惯、生活方式的改变、全球化、广泛的旅行以及全球数百万人的迁移等因素综合起来，可能会增加健康风险。当然，如今的健康危机已被证明极为复杂。越来越多的人在旅行，他们可能携带诸如蚊子等意想不到的病毒载体。做好准备具有挑战性，因此需要制定行动计划来保护不断增加的高危人群。健康危机有可能影响很大一部分人口，并可能导致死亡率大幅上升或出现异常高的死亡率。应将这一点纳入国家和国际监测的总体概念，以便在危机发生时能够做出有准备的应对。本文梳理了欧洲（以及在较小程度上欧洲以外地区）的相关法律、指南和工具，并针对与传染病相关的健康危机问题提出了应对措施。在危机管理中，沟通是一个需要考虑的重要因素。本文可作为参与危机准备工作的人员的一个工具。
