Agroterrorism Preparedness Course: AWR 151
Understanding the Dangers of Agroterrorism, developed by the Western
Institute for Food Safety and Security, University of California Davis. The
course goal is to increase awareness among local and regional emergency
response teams about the potential targets and impacts of agroterrorism. By
creating a new alliance among traditional first responders and the agricultural
industry, communities can begin to develop plans to mitigate acts of
agroterrorism. The course raises awareness about the need to identify and
defend against pathogens, chemical and biological contaminants, and other
hazards that affect the safety of the foods we eat. The course stresses the
importance of responding to incidents of intentional contamination as well as
natural disasters using the ?all hazards? approach.
Participatory workshop will include:
Overview of federal guidance documents for protecting our
food supply from terrorism
Inventory of free online tools available for food facility
and food systems protection
Overview of the security of food being imported and
transported
Discussion Session: What are we doing well? What is still
being left undone?
The workshop is designed to provide new information and
offer value to food agencies and businesses, whether or not participants have
completed food and agriculture preparedness courses in the past.
