Food Production Changes
•
•
•
Number of farms decreasing
Animal numbers rising on some farms
Opportunities
Increasing intensity/specialization
– Efficient food source: U.S. and world
–
•
Challenges
Disease control and eradication
– Devastating economic effects
–

Impact of Animal Disease
•
Animal Health
–
•
Death, illness, loss of production
Economics
Loss or disruption of trade
– Loss of consumer confidence
– Movement restrictions
–
•
Human Health
Zoonoses
– Mental health

HLSEM, IDALS, CFSPH
Ag Emergency Local Response Preparedness, 2008
Vulnerabilities
High density husbandry
• Mixing at auction markets
or transport by vehicles
•
–
Over 5 million cattle each year
Poor traceability of animals
• No immunity to foreign
animal diseases
• Centralized feed supply
and distribution
•
HLSEM, IDALS, CFSPH

Vulnerabilities
•
•
•
•
•
Diseases are widespread
in other countries
Expanded international
trade and travel
Border penetration:
People, wild birds,
mammals
Inadequate on-farm
biosecurity
Inadequate foreign
animal disease awareness

•
•
“It will never happen to me”
“It won’t be that bad”
“I have insurance”

Planning Pays Off
•
•
No or poor plan can result in losses
In the event of a major disaster
43% never reopen
– 16.5% reopen but close in 2 years
–
•
•
~60% attrition due to a disaster
For every $1 spent on planning,
$7 saved from disaster loss (FEMA)
