Access to the HSE is available to DOD CAC holders with a need to view or support FHP and operational readiness against disease outbreaks and health threats.

First-time users need to authenticate their CAC with the NGA's GEOAxIS service. Once authenticated, users can access the HSE.

AFHSD senior leaders and epidemiologists determine what disease and health events appear on the HSE on a daily basis. The HSE incorporates data from a variety of AFHSD products to provide timely, relevant, actionable, and comprehensive health surveillance information, which promotes and enhances the health of the military and its associated populations. In addition, the events can be viewed in proximity to military treatment facilities, U.S. Embassy locations, and the AFHSD Global Emerging Infections Surveillance Branch’s partner network of DOD service laboratories. The HSE includes both active and archived disease outbreaks and other health events, allowing users to analyze historical trends by country, disease, or geographic combatant command.

For additional information about the events, contact the AFHSD Integrated Biosurveillance Branch ARO Team at dha.ncr.health-surv.list.ib-alert-response@health.mil.

Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox are the recommended browsers, but ultimately this depends on your organization’s browser settings.

• Refresh the page by pressing F5 (Fn+F5 on some Windows computers) or hitting the refresh button at the top of the browser

Each event is assessed as a LOW, MODERATE, or HIGH public health threat, determined by AFHSD based on the implementation of FHP countermeasures. For a brief explanation of the threat levels, click on the “Legend” widget in the top right corner of the blue header bar on the HSE.
