Development and Maintenance of Human and Animal Food Rapid Response Teams for the State of Indiana

项目概要/摘要： 在接下来的三年里，印第安纳州快速反应小组（IN RRT）的目标是加强 应对人类和动物食品紧急情况。总体RRT概念包括以下步骤： 事件，如与利益相关者建立关系、培训、准备和监督 取样.在食品事故期间，进行环境评估，以及产品和/或 环境取样后续行动，包括缓解/控制步骤、预防、后续行动 审查和改进计划。通过提供更具体和更高级的与响应相关的培训， 在演习中，IN RRT将继续在准备就绪的机构网络中促进准备工作 应对人类和动物食品紧急情况和事件。具体而言，这种演习将有助于 推进一个更强大、可扩展和灵活的事件指挥结构（ICS）， 小型和大型活动。工作人员将接受特定职位角色的培训，以巩固ICS沿着 工作角色和责任。此外，还将利用食源性疾病工作组， 以加强机构间的沟通和提高能力。核心能力，目前在 地方将得到改善，增加，并加强内部和之间的关系 社. IN RRT食源性疾病应对过程的环境评估、采样和信息 共享和缓解行动将有助于减少和消除反复爆发。在后- 在应对和预防阶段，IN RRT将解决在之后确定的程序中存在的差距， 与疫情和事故应对相关的行动审查。从事后收集的信息- 行动审查将指导持续改进计划的制定和实施， 以及对标准作业程序进行任何必要的更新，以便为今后的粮食紧急情况做好更充分的准备。 通过向CDC提供数据，IN RRT是国家综合食品安全系统的组成部分 NEARS和NORS平台，并在国家和区域会议上提出想法和结论， 两会随着IN RRT的能力和准备程度的提高， 人类和动物食品紧急情况将导致，其意义将是减少 疫情爆发的范围和持续时间，从而减轻了印第安纳州公共卫生系统的负担。 在即将到来的项目期间，IN RRT将继续定期与实验室和 流行病学合作伙伴以及培养与其他国家机构，地方/县的关系 合作伙伴、学术界、工业界、执法部门、其他州和FDA。这增加了合作 将有助于信息和技能共享，以提高准备程度。

Project Summary/Abstract: Over the next three years, the Indiana Rapid Response Team (IN RRT) aims to enhance all aspects of response related to human and animal food emergencies. The overall RRT concept includes steps prior incidents, such as relationship building with stakeholders, training, preparedness, and surveillance sampling. During food incidents environmental assessments are conducted, as well as product and/or environmental sampling. Follow-up actions, include mitigation/control steps, prevention, after-action reviews, and improvement plans. By offering more specific and advanced response-related trainings and exercises, the IN RRT will continue to foster preparedness across a network of agencies that stand ready to respond to human and animal food emergencies and incidents. Specifically, such exercises will help advance a more robust, scalable, and flexible Incident Command Structure (ICS) that can be used during small-scale and large-scale events. Staff will be trained in position-specific roles to solidify the ICS along with working roles and responsibilities. In addition, the Foodborne Illness Working Group will be utilized to enhance interagency communication and increase capacity. Core capabilities that are currently in place will be improved, added upon, and strengthened as will relationships within and between agencies. The IN RRT foodborne illness response process of environmental assessments, sampling, information sharing, and mitigation actions will aid in reducing and eliminating repeated outbreaks. In post- response and prevention phases, the IN RRT will address gaps in procedures identified during after- action reviews related to outbreak and incident responses. The information gathered from the after- action reviews will guide the development and implementation of an on-going Improvement Plan as well as any necessary updates to SOPs to allow for greater preparedness for future food emergencies. The IN RRT is an integral part of the nation's integrated Food Safety System by contributing data to CDCs NEARS and NORS platforms as well as presenting ideas and findings at national and regional conferences. As the ability and preparedness of IN RRT is increased, a more rapid and efficient response to human and animal food emergencies will result, the significance of which will be the reduction of the scope and duration of outbreaks, thus reducing the burden placed upon Indiana’s public health system. Throughout the upcoming project period, the IN RRT will continue regular meetings with laboratory and epidemiological partners as well as nurture relationships with other state agencies, local/county partners, academia, industry, law enforcement, other states, and the FDA. This increased collaboration will aid information and skill sharing with the objective of enhanced readiness.
