| 8:00 - 5:00 | Southeast Regional EDEN Animal Agrosecurity Conference Most of you are, no doubt, aware of the upcoming Southeast Regional EDEN Animal Agrosecurity Conference taking place January 8-10, 2008 in Clemson, SC. This is the third of six EDEN regional conferences being held around the country?all focusing on animal agrosecurity issues.
The objectives of this conference are to help Extension educators understand their role and responsibilities in the event of a major animal agrosecurity incident (i.e. a disease outbreak), to understand the resources that are available, and to become better prepared to work as a team with other agencies and producers during an agrosecurity incident. In addition, agencies and other emergency management groups will have an improved understanding of Extension?s educational and facilitation role, and the resources available through the Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN). The conference agenda will include time for Extension and agency representatives from states to meet as a group to discuss a state and multi-state approach to agrosecurity incidents. Here is the call being made to you: If you have not done so already, please get the word out to individuals who have a vested interest in emergency management and could benefit from attending. States are encouraged to send teams that will represent their state at this conference, and carry the information back to co-workers. Teams should consider including representatives from Cooperative Extension (especially those with dairy, livestock, poultry, or emergency preparedness responsibilities); the State Veterinarian, Animal Health Bureau, Department of Agriculture, Emergency Management Agency, Health Department; SART; Law Enforcement; and commodity groups representing integrated dairy, livestock, and poultry production.
