摘要: |
There are concerns about the vulnerability of U.S. agriculture to the deliberate introduction of animal and plant diseases (referred to as agroterrorism). Response to agricultural emergencies whether attributed to agroterrorism or naturally occurring outbreaks of food contamination or animal disease often requires immediate (within hours) isolation and/or quarantine of potential infection or contamination areas. This guide provides recommended practices and procedures associated with traffic control on local and state roads during agricultural emergencies. The guide should aid state and local officials in responding to agricultural emergencies. The guide was reviewed by many state and local agencies, and workshops were held in Dodge City, Kansas; Mankato, Minnesota; West Plains, Missouri; and Athens, Tennessee. Scenarios of agricultural emergencies were included in these workshops to gauge how useful the guide was in aiding local agencies in establishing and maintaining traffic control in quarantine situations. The guide contains traffic control plans for three levels of traffic control based on the type of disease and location of the traffic control point. |
