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 项目摘要/摘要 加州公共卫生部(CDPH)，食品和药物分部(FDB)，食品 安全计划是为了预防和应对与食品和食品有关的问题和紧急情况。我们 在整个过程中，通过预防努力和积极干预和应对相结合的方式实现这一目标 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 美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)旧金山和洛杉矶地区办事处成立了加州食品 2005年成立应急小组(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 多司法管辖区快速反应小组(即CalFERT)和加利福尼亚州对食物做出快速反应的能力 并为紧急情况提供食物。提案的研究战略如所述，涉及六个方案 此资助机会中列出的目标和年度里程碑，符合《快速行动计划 响应团队计划五年计划。 实现这些目标需要维持现有的两个快速反应小组(RRT)职位 在这笔赠款下，允许不间断地继续开展RRT活动；加强该方案的 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议定书，包括环境评估和 环境采样；增强数据采集技术和分析方法；采购 补充采样设备和用品，以支持应对；采用新的专门技术 关于特定商品和污染源的培训；加强机构间合作， 与合作伙伴和利益相关者的合作、协调和沟通。 因此，我们要求为今后三年每年提供30万美元的赠款资金。这将会 增强当前的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。 资金还将允许进行关键培训，以提高内部技能集，提高可获得性 关键资源，改进员额反应和预防活动，推进继任规划 在这一新的资助期之后继续支持CalFERT。 CalFERT准备好在紧急情况下采取行动是至关重要的。加利福尼亚州是美国最大的玉米生产国 重要的农产品，包括绿叶蔬菜、水果、蔬菜和坚果作物。一场危机 对这些商品的影响将对加州、全国和 整个世界。这种粮食紧急情况的经济影响可能会造成数亿美元的损失。 由于消费者对粮食供应失去信心，对粮食商品的需求减少。
