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. Toward that end we have created the California Food Emergency Response Team, or CalFERT, an “All Food Hazards Rapid Response Team (RRT),” to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our response to food emergencies, whether unintentional or through purposeful acts. The primary objective of our proposed program is to further strengthen and sustain California's food protection program and rapid response activities to food and feed emergencies thus contributing to the long-term improvement efforts to the National Integrated Food Safety System. This entails maintaining two staff members from the funds authorized under this grant that will enhance the program's ability to conduct investigations utlizing the Incident Command System (ICS) and development of RRT protocols integrating the GOODSamples guidance; the purchase of additional technical and sampling equipment and supplies; the development and provision of specialized trainings; strengthening of interagency collaboration, cooperation, and communication; and enhancement of coordination and interactions with other states' RRT programs. The goals of this proposal are aligned with the RRT Program Objectives outlined in the RRT 5 Year Plan and include mentorship, RRT capability data capture and assessment, communication, post response and prevention, RRT maturity and maintenance, and sustainability. Accordingly, we are requesting $375,000 in grant funds for each of the next two years. ($300,000 RRT Base Award and $75,000 RRT Additional Optional Elective Funding per year; $750,000 total). This would augment current CDPH capabilities and provide the necessary infrastructure to conduct environmental investigations, tracebacks, and enforcement activities during food and feed emergencies, thereby improving our readiness to act in emergencies. Funding would also allow us to obtain the necessary training to sharpen our internal skill set, improve the availability of critical resources, increase information sharing among federal, state and local agencies, improve on succession planning and sustain the RRT beyond this grant period. An inability to develop and sustain California's RRT program would be detrimental to the state's Food Safety Program and would have national repercussions. California is the nation's largest producer of many important agricultural commodities including dairy, 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 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）食品药品分支的使命 (FDB)食品安全计划旨在预防和应对食品和食品相关问题， 突发事件我们通过预防工作和积极的 整个食物链的干预和反应。为此，我们创造了 加州食品紧急反应小组（CalFERT），一个“所有食品危害快速反应小组”， 响应小组（RRT），”以提高我们对食品的反应的效率和有效性 紧急情况，无论是无意的还是通过有目的的行为。 我们提出的计划的主要目标是进一步加强和维持加州的 粮食保护计划和对粮食和饲料紧急情况的快速反应活动， 为长期改善国家综合食品安全做出贡献 系统这就需要用这笔赠款核准的资金维持两名工作人员 这将提高该计划利用事故指挥部进行调查的能力 系统（ICS）和RRT协议的开发，整合了GOODSamples指南; 购买更多的技术和取样设备和用品; 提供专门培训;加强机构间协作、合作， 加强与其他州RRT的协调和互动 程序.本提案的目标与 RRT 5年计划，包括指导、RRT能力数据采集和评估， 沟通、响应后和预防、RRT成熟度和维护，以及 持续发展 因此，我们要求在今后两年中每年提供375 000美元的赠款。 （每年300，000美元的RRT基础奖和75，000美元的RRT额外可选可选资助; 共计750 000美元）。这将增强目前的CDPH能力，并提供必要的 进行环境调查、追溯和执法活动的基础设施 在粮食和饲料紧急情况下，从而提高我们在紧急情况下采取行动的准备。 资金还将使我们能够获得必要的培训，以提高我们的内部技能， 提高关键资源的可用性，增加联邦、州和州之间的信息共享 和地方机构，改善继任计划，并在这笔赠款之外维持RRT 期 如果不能发展和维持加州的RRT项目， 食品安全计划，并将产生全国性的影响。加州是全国最大的 生产许多重要的农产品，包括乳制品，绿叶蔬菜，水果， 蔬菜和坚果作物。影响这些商品的危机将对数百万人产生负面影响 消费者在加州，国家和世界。粮食紧急情况的经济影响 由于对食品的需求减少， 因为消费者对食品供应失去信心。
