The WHO developed the ERF levels for graded emergencies. September 11 for the United States was an emergency that would be leveled as ungraded. The country had experienced two large metropolitan building collapse after airplanes were flown into the buildings. Grade 1 is a single country emergency and requires limited response from the WHO. Grade 2 is a single country or multiple country emergency and requires moderate response. Grade 3 is a single country or multiple country emergency and requires a major or maximal response by WHO.
