E. Rapid Assessment

This component of the EDRR Framework provides access to monitoring, modeling, and forecasting tools to perform rapid assessment of the threat of new invaders. It may serve as a repository for response efforts and their outcomes, documenting lessons and best practices.

* If you know about other online invasive or introduced species assessments, ranking systems, protocols, or forecasting tools (e.g. maps and models) that you think should be included in this list, please contact Annie Simpson (asimpson@usgs.gov) or Elizabeth Sellers (esellers@usgs.gov).
