Description

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.
