Project Summary/Abstract North Carolina is a rapidly growing state, currently ranked ninth in the nation in population. The North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, Food and Drug Protection Division (FDPD) has the regulatory and jurisdictional authority to ensure public health of this population, including protection from threats in the food supply chain at manufacturing through distribution to retail. The Rapid Response Team program is an instrumental part of the food protection process. North Carolina has been an RRT state since the program’s inception in 2009 and we are proposing a 2 year project that will enhance our existing food safety and defense activities. The focus of this proposal is to continue strengthening response efforts by engaging our partner agencies in exercises and trainings to improve the capabilities of an integrated food safety system. We have successfully integrated partner regulatory agencies into the RRT which consist of following: FDPD Food Program, Feed Program, Dairy Program and Laboratory, North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (Epidemiology and Environmental Health sections), NCDA&CS (Emergency Programs, Meat & Poultry, Public Affairs), and the FDA District. Under this cooperative agreement proposal we will conduct an exercise concerning an intentional contamination event to test the capabilities of our response systems. The exercise will use an Incident Command Structure to rapidly identify and effectively respond to the contamination event and removal of contaminated or adulterated food from commerce. This exercise will highlight how an integrated response to an all-hazards food emergency can be successfully mitigated by the engagement of all partner agencies. RRT competency curriculum workshops will help identify and define knowledge, skills, and abilities for RRT personnel. The end product will be a tool to help train RRT personnel, plus a best practice which can be used to support national program improvement for other RRTs. The progress the NC RRT has made through the years allows us to focus on improving the maturity and maintenance of our program as we strive to steadily augment sustainability plans.

项目总结/摘要 北卡罗来纳州是一个发展迅速的州，目前在全国人口中排名第九。北卡罗来纳州 农业和消费者服务部，食品和药物保护司（FDPD） 和司法当局，以确保这一人口的公共健康，包括保护免受威胁， 食品供应链从生产到分销再到零售。快速反应小组是一个 是食品保护过程的重要组成部分。自该计划实施以来，北卡罗来纳州一直是RRT州。 成立于2009年，我们提出了一个为期2年的项目，将加强我们现有的食品安全和国防 活动这项建议的重点是通过与我们的伙伴合作，继续加强应对工作。 在演习和培训中，各机构提高了综合食品安全体系的能力。我们有 成功地将合作伙伴监管机构纳入RRT，其中包括：FDPD食品 北卡罗来纳州卫生与人类健康部， 服务（流行病学和环境卫生部门），NCDA & CS（紧急方案，肉类和 家禽，公共事务）和FDA区。根据这项合作协议，我们将进行一项 演习涉及故意污染事件，以测试我们的反应系统的能力。的 演习将使用事故指挥结构，以快速识别和有效应对 污染事件以及将受污染或掺假的食品从商业中移除。这项工作将 强调如何通过以下方式成功缓解对所有危害的粮食紧急情况的综合反应： 所有伙伴机构的参与。RRT能力课程研讨会将有助于识别和定义 RRT人员的知识、技能和能力。最终产品将是一个帮助培训RRT人员的工具， 以及可用于支持其他RRT的国家计划改进的最佳实践。的 NC RRT多年来取得的进展使我们能够专注于提高成熟度， 在我们努力稳步增加可持续发展计划的同时，我们也在维护我们的计划。
