Food Emergency Response 420 Command and General Staff Course

项目总结/摘要 作为PAR-12-116下的资金接受者，明尼苏达州农业部（MDA） 建议委托一家私人承包商开发一门食品应急响应I 420课程， 符合NWCG课程开发和培训标准。之后，最多4个快速 响应小组（RRT）将被邀请到国际食品保护培训研究所， 为期5天的飞行员培训。 为期5天的I 420课程旨在帮助学生做好事故管理的准备。 在事故指挥官、指挥官或总参谋部的位置上的小组（IMT）。的重点 课程是关于团队建设，协作与合作，并应用以前获得的 事故指挥系统（ICS）知识和技能，以便在 什么是压力环境学生将参加多个演习和练习 整个5天的课程，最终在一天的功能锻炼。这些练习 包括一个模拟的动员，事件管理和复员阶段的一个 迅速加速食源性疾病的爆发。 参与RRT的州将负责任命和派遣一个事故管理小组 (IMT)去球场综合管理小组将由8个综合安全事务处指挥和参谋职位组成。 会员将被要求在课程开始前满足ICS 300培训要求。 MDA建议使用食品相关应急演习盒装（FREE-B）， 让快速反应小组成员作为专题专家与 承包商应确保课程和练习设计正确且有意义。此外，MDA 将与IFPTI合作，为粮食紧急反应I提供后勤支持和场地 420飞行员课程。 食品紧急情况I 420试点项目将建立在项目目标的基础上，以满足FDA的 快速反应和恢复故意食品污染的食品安全的目标 现代化法案。试点项目完成后，将向下列人员提供该课程： 联邦、州、地方、领土、部落和私营部门伙伴。

Project Summary/Abstract As a recipient of funding under PAR-12-116, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) proposes to task a private contractor to develop a Food Emergency Response I 420 course that meets NWCG curriculum development and training standards. After which, up to 4 Rapid Response Teams (RRT) will be invited to the International Food Protection Training Institute, to pilot the 5 day course training. The 5 day I 420 course is designed to prepare students to function as an Incident Management Team (IMT) in the position of incident commander, command or general staff. The focus of the course is on team building, collaboration and cooperation, and applying previously acquired Incident Command System (ICS) knowledge and skills to work efficiently and effectively under what can be stressful circumstances. Students will participate in multiple drills and exercises throughout the 5 day course which culminates in a day long functional exercise. These exercises include a simulation of the mobilization, incident management, and demobilization phases of a rapidly accelerating food borne illness outbreak. Participating RRT states will be tasked with naming and sending an Incident Management Team (IMT) to the course. IMTs will consist of the 8 ICS positions of command and general staff. Members will be required to meet ICS 300 training requirements prior to the course. The MDA proposes utilizing the Food Related Emergency Exercise boxed set (FREE-B) and engage Rapid Response Team members, acting as subject matter experts, to work with the contractor to ensure curriculum and exercise design are correct and meaningful. As well, MDA will engage IFPTI to provide logistical support and venue for the Food Emergency Response I 420 pilot course. The Food Emergency I 420 pilot project will build upon project objectives to meet the FDA's goals of rapid response and recovery of intentional food contamination of the Food Safety Modernization Act. Upon completion of the pilot project, the course will be made available to federal, state, local, territorial, tribal and private sector partners.
