Effects of Introducing Foot and Mouth Disease in the USA

Even if FMD appears in a State with a relatively small livestock industry, the negative effects will impact the whole country

As a result of the introduction of FMD or another exotic animal disease in the US all export permits are immediately revoked

Agricultural Response Levels for Responders

Document desired and current capability for response to a biological incident Number of emergency responders needed to

respond to the incident Number of emergency responders desired at

each agricultural response level Number of emergency responders currently

equipped and trained at each agricultural response level
