California Food Protection Rapid Response Team Project Summary/Abstract The mission of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Food and Drug Branch's (FDB), Food Safety Program is to prevent and react to food and food-related problems and emergencies. We accomplish this with a combination of prevention efforts and active intervention and response throughout the entire food chain. To increase efficiency, communication, and effectiveness of investigations in response to food/feed emergencies (intentional or unintentional), CDPH in partnership with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) San Francisco and Los Angeles District Offices formed the California Food Emergency Response Team (CalFERT) in 2005. Through this proposal, our primary objective is to further develop, implement, maintain and sustain a multi-jurisdictional rapid response team (i.e., CalFERT) and California's ability to rapidly respond to food and feed emergencies. The proposal's Research Strategy as described addresses the six program objectives and yearly milestones, listed in this funding opportunity, in accordance with the Rapid Response Team Program 5 Year Plan. Accomplishing the objectives entails sustaining two existing Rapid Response Team (RRT) positions under this grant to allow for uninterrupted continuation of RRT activities; strenghtening the program's ability to conduct investigations and exercises employing Incident Command System (ICS); continuing development and enhancement of CalFERT protocols including environmental assessments and environmental sampling; enhancing data capturing techniques and analytical approaches; purchasing additional sampling equipment and supplies in support of responses; introducing new specialized trainings on specific commodities and contamination sources; strengthening interagency collaboration, cooperation, coordination and communication with partners and stakeholders. Accordingly, we are requesting $300,000 in grant funds for each of the next three years. This would augment current CDPH capabilities and facilitate long-term improvements necessary to conduct environmental investigations, tracebacks, and enforcement activities during food and feed emergencies. Funding would also allow for critical trainings to sharpen internal skill set, improve the availability of critical resources, improve on post response and prevention activities, advance succession planning, and sustain CalFERT beyond this new grant period. CalFERT readiness to act in emergencies is critical. California is the nation's largest producer of many important agricultural commodities including leafy greens, fruit, vegetable, and nut crops. A crisis impacting those commodities would negatively impact millions of consumers in California, the nation, and the world. The economic impact of such food emergencies can cost hundreds of millions of dollars due to decreased demands for food commodities because of loss of consumer confidence in the food supply.

加州食品保护快速反应小组 项目总结/摘要 加州公共卫生部（CDPH）食品药品分支（FDB）的使命， 安全计划旨在预防和应对食品及食品相关问题和紧急情况。我们 通过预防努力与积极干预和反应相结合， 整个食物链。 提高食品/饲料调查的效率、沟通和有效性 紧急情况（有意或无意），CDPH与美国食品和药物管理局合作 弗朗西斯科和洛杉矶地区办事处组成了加州食品 2005年成立了应急小组（CalFERT）。 通过这项建议，我们的主要目标是进一步发展、实施、维持和维持一个 多管辖区快速反应小组（即，CalFERT）和加州快速应对食物的能力 和食物紧急情况该提案的研究战略所述地址的六个程序 根据《快速发展战略》， 响应团队五年计划。 实现这些目标需要维持现有的两个快速反应小组职位 根据这项赠款，允许不间断地继续RRT活动;加强该计划的 使用事故指挥系统（ICS）进行调查和演习的能力;继续 制定和加强CalFERT协议，包括环境评估， 环境取样;加强数据收集技术和分析方法;采购 增加取样设备和用品，以支持应对工作;引进新的专门 关于特定商品和污染源的培训;加强机构间合作， 与合作伙伴和利益攸关方的合作、协调和沟通。 因此，我们要求在今后三年中每年提供30万美元的赠款。这将 增强目前的CDPH能力，并促进进行必要的长期改进， 食品和饲料紧急情况下的环境调查、追溯和执法活动。 资金还将用于关键培训，以提高内部技能，改善 关键资源，改进事后响应和预防活动，推进继任规划，以及 在这个新的补助期之后继续维持CalFERT。 CalFERT在紧急情况下采取行动的准备是至关重要的。加州是美国最大的 重要的农产品，包括绿叶蔬菜、水果、蔬菜和坚果作物。危机 影响这些商品将对加州的数百万消费者产生负面影响， 世界这种粮食紧急情况的经济影响可能造成数亿美元的损失， 由于消费者对粮食供应失去信心，对粮食商品的需求减少。
