Description
The German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) is a national risk management authority. BVL fulfils many tasks in the area of food safety. Aims of BVL are transparent risk communication and crisis prevention including early warning in the field of food safety. Since 2015, one of the means for reaching BVL´s goals is BeoWarn, a systematic process that watches different information sources to identify risks and issues with high crisis potential within the remit of BVL´s tasks. The output of BeoWarn includes reports on these risks or issues for risk managers at national, federal and local authorities including food control services.
BeoWarn´s team consists of experts with interdisciplinary qualification backgrounds who continuously monitor various information sources to identify topics with a high crisis potential. Following subjects are covered:
I. Outbreaks and diseases in Germany
II. Risks and issues with crisis potential that occur in Germany
III. Continuous monitoring of already identified risks and issues with a high crisis potential
IV. Hints on what might hit Germany in the future: emerging risks, issues and disease outbreaks in other countries
After several years of BeoWarn´s existence, we consider BeoWarn being a very effective national system for information sharing, networking and for the generation of One Health intelligence.
