  3. Develop a Response Plan • Plan for handling of contaminated product or animals • Emergency Planning • Facility Map • Emergency Contact Phone List • Supplier/Customer Contacts • Employee Emergency Information

  4. Handling of Contaminated Livestock • Animals must be quarantined until definitive diagnosis is made • Animals must be cared for during this time • Animals may need to be euthanized • Carcass disposal may need to occur • Decontamination of facility may need to occur

  5. Handling of Contaminated Food Products • Retained or recalled product will need to be stored prior to disposal • Storage will need to be separate from non contaminated product • Prepare a plan for disposal, to be reviewed by FDA or FSIS and state authorities • FDA or FSIS will witness the execution of the plan

  6. Containment and Disposal • Consider your operation and indicate where you plan to contain contaminated food products or livestock • Develop a recall plan in case food products are shipped before a contamination is discovered • Predetermine an area where livestock can be euthanized and carcasses disposed of

  7. Emergency Planning • Gather these things together • Facility map • Emergency phone list • Supplier and customer contacts • Employee emergency contact information

  8. Facility Map • Name, address, and phone of owner/proprietor • Relationship of the facility to adjacent properties and/or structures. • Road access including transportation routes • Perimeter boundaries, include fences, and gates (with dimensions)

  9. Facility Map (continued) • Buildings, outbuildings, doors, windows, AC/heating, ventilation • Utilities (water, gas, electric, phones) location and shutoff • Septic System and drainage areas with direction of flow • Web sites such as Google Earth www.earth.google.com

  10. Emergency Contact Phone List • Local emergency responders • Utilities • Health care • Regulatory groups • State and national emergency agencies

  11. Steps in Defending the Food Supply • Assess vulnerabilities • Write your food defense plan • Prepare a response plan • Manage your food defense plan
