Agroterrorism Planning

1
Agroterrorism Planning

• Capabilities-Based Planning

2
Why Plan?

• Mitigate the effects of a disaster
• Help the community recover more quickly from the
  effects of disaster
• Coordinate a consistent response to the effects
  and impacts of disasters of all types (natural or
  manmade)

Plans are worthless, planning is everything

FACT Components

• All plans need to have the following components
• F functional
• A applicable
• C comprehensive
• T thorough

12
State and Local Buy-in

• Requires collaboration and cooperation
• Collaboration consists of
• A commitment to participate in shared decision
  making
• A willingness to share information, resources and
  tasks
• A professional sense of respect for individual
  team members

13
National Preparedness Goal

• HSPD-8 calls for a National Preparedness Goal
  that establishes measurable priorities, targets
  and a common approach to developing needed
  capabilities.
• Utilizes a Capabilities-Based Planning approach.
• The central objective is the identification of
  target levels of capabilities.
• Capabilities are combinations of resources to
  achieve a measurable outcome.

14
Capabilities-Based Planning

• The Target Capabilities List (TCL) identifies 36
  target capabilities, one of which deals with
  food.
• All-hazards planning
• Focus efforts on identifying and developing the
  critical capabilities from the TCL to perform the
  critical tasks from the Universal Task List for
  the National Planning Scenarios.
• Tasks help identify planning components.
• Scenarios provide common planning factors.

15
National Planning Scenarios

• Develop appropriate capabilities to address range
  of scenarios that will best prepare the nation
  for terrorist attacks, major disasters and other
  emergencies.
• Scenario 13 addresses food contamination
• Scenario 14 focuses on Foot-and-Mouth Disease
  (FMD)

16
Defining Target Capabilities

• A capability may be delivered with any
  combination of properly planned, organized,
  equipped, trained and exercised personnel that
  achieve the intended outcome.
• Designed to assist federal, state, local and
  tribal entities.
• Understand and define roles in a major event.
• Define required capabilities.
• Provide additional resource information.

17
Acquiring Needed Capabilities

• Requests for preparedness assistance will
  ultimately be expressed as capability needs.
• Why a capability is needed and how will it be
  used.
• What function the capability will perform and who
  will need it.
• When the capability will be available and how
  much will it cost.
• What key performances comprise the capability and
  how will it be supported.
• What skills will be required and how to train
  responders.

18
Relative to Food and Agriculture

• Protect Mission Area Capability
• Food and Agriculture Safety and Defense
• Ensure food safety and security through the
  development and adoption of agriculture and food
  safety programs, procedures, guidelines and
  regulations.
• Ensure the nations commercial supply of food is
  safe and secure following an incident.

19
Relative to Animal Health

• Respond Mission Area Capability
• Animal Health Emergency Support
• The capability to protect, prevent, detect,
  respond to, and recover from threats and
  incidents that would result in the disruption of
  U.S. livestock, other domestic animals, and
  wildlife related industries.
• Response to large-scale national and regional
  emergencies as well as to smaller-scale
  incidents.

20
Need for Planning

• All levels of government should have plans,
  policies and procedures in place for food and
  agriculture safety and security.
