California Food Protection Rapid Response Team (RRT)

加州食品保护快速反应小组 项目概要/摘要 加州公共卫生部 (CDPH) 食品药品分部 (FDB) 的使命 安全计划旨在预防和应对食品和食品相关问题和紧急情况。我们 通过将预防工作与积极干预和应对相结合来实现这一目标 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 管理局 (FDA) 旧金山和洛杉矶地区办事处成立了加州食品局 紧急响应小组 (CalFERT)，2005 年。 通过这项提案，我们的主要目标是进一步开发、实施、维护和维持 多辖区快速反应小组（即 CalFERT）和加州对食品快速反应的能力 并提供紧急情况。该提案的研究策略涉及六个项目 根据快速计划，在此融资机会中列出的目标和年度里程碑 响应团队计划 5 年计划。 实现目标需要维持两个现有的快速反应小组 (RRT) 职位 根据这笔赠款，可以不间断地继续 RRT 活动；加强该计划的 使用事件指挥系统（ICS）进行调查和演习的能力；继续 开发和增强 CalFERT 协议，包括环境评估和 环境采样；加强数据采集技术和分析方法；采购 支持应对工作的额外采样设备和用品；引进新的专业 针对特定商品和污染源的培训；加强机构间合作， 与合作伙伴和利益相关者的合作、协调和沟通。 因此，我们要求未来三年每年提供 30 万美元的赠款。这会 增强当前 CDPH 的能力并促进开展必要的长期改进 食品和饲料紧急情况期间的环境调查、追溯和执法活动。 资金还将用于关键培训，以提高内部技能，提高人员的可用性 关键资源，改进事后响应和预防活动，推进继任计划，以及 在这个新的资助期之后维持 CalFERT。 CalFERT 做好在紧急情况下采取行动的准备至关重要。加利福尼亚州是美国许多产品的最大生产国 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和全国数百万消费者产生负面影响 世界。此类粮食紧急情况的经济影响可能会造成数亿美元的损失 由于消费者对食品供应信心丧失，对食品的需求减少。

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.
