The Humanitarian Disability Needs Estimation Screening Tool (HD-NEST) is a set of three questions for rapidly identifying most people with disability in a disaster affected population. HD-NEST was designed for use in rapid assessments immediately following a sudden onset disaster. The design of the tool was guided by the constraints humanitarian actors face in the early days of a response. HD-NEST is not a replacement for comprehensive disability data collection and should be considered as part of a disability data collection process that is ongoing and refined throughout response and recovery.
