An outbreak report is a brief document that records when, where, and how severely locust or grasshopper populations have surged, and what monitoring or control actions were taken. It supports timely management decisions and future planning. It could also be a survey report without an active outbreak.

If you are interested in outbreak reports, you will also like operational field reports, situation bulletins, and agricultural bulletins because they all provide timely, field-based information on pest activity, monitoring results, control actions, and population trends for locusts and grasshoppers.
