29. Implementation & Accomplishments 29

30. Sector Formation & Existence • Formation of the sector was – and remains – challenging • Too many activities, all with time and resource commitments • Focus, at times, was perceived to be "checking boxes“ • Extremely diverse needs, philosophies exist within sector • Enormous potential should palpable threat materialize • Critical relationships within the sector and with government personnel have materialized • Mutual understandings and trust developed • Progress made; more needs to be achieved

31. Strategic Partnership Program on Agroterrorism (SPPA) • Extremely well-received by industry and government alike • Excellent opportunity for private sector to inform, educate officials about their operations and to interact with government • Excellent opportunity for government to educate private sector to understand government concerns • Excellent opportunity for industry to learn from each other • Numerous concerns ruled-in or ruled-out • Identified critical research needs • Supported development of other tools and resources for sector 31

32. Sector Table Top Exercises • 2006 – Raleigh, Carolina – Intentional contamination of bottled water • 2006 – Washington, DC - Foreign Animal Disease • 2007 – Harrisburg, PA – Intentional contamination of animal feed resulting in human food contamination (primarily early response) • 2009 – Oklahoma City, OK - Intentional contamination of animal feed resulting in human food contamination (more focused on late response and recovery issues) • 2009 – Crystal City, VA – Federal follow-on to Oklahoma exercise • 2010 and 2011 – Arlington, VA – Intentional contamination at food retail/food service locations in several major cities • 2013 – Nuclear Reactors, Materials & Waste and Food & Agriculture Cross-Sector Workshop • 2013 – Nuclear Reactors, Materials & Waste and Food & Agriculture Tabletop Exercise (TBD)

Additional SCC Accomplishments • Assisted in enhancing overall awareness of threats to food and agriculture, and kept it in perspective • Helped establish a structure for collaboration with our federal, state and local partners • Participated with our partners in numerous vulnerability assessments • Helped DHS understand “systems approach” to identify, evaluate critical assets/redundancies • Beneficially influenced numerous DHS-driven projects and activities • Actively participated in the development and execution of a number of excellent tabletop exercises

34. Cross-Sector Collaboration • Partnership with FBI and EPA to support multi-sector workshops • Collaboration at local level to promote coordination between water utilities, public health, food and agriculture, emergency management, and law enforcement • Upcoming workshops to be announced

35. If You See Something, Say SomethingTM

36. Prioritization of Critical Infrastructure • Total of 30 States successfully added FA Sector assets, systems, and clusters as part of the 2011 National Critical Infrastructure Prioritization Program (NCIPP) data call • This marked the first time that FA Sector assets were included in this prioritization, an accomplishment that is the direct result of the collaborative partnership among DHS, SSAs, and SLTT partners • “Criticality Workgroup” established to facilitate ongoing efforts to standardize prioritization and identify and implement risk reduction measures and mitigation strategies

37. Continuity of Business • Preparedness • Work with industry stakeholders and experts to prioritize animal or commodity movements that have the potential to be affected by disease or disease response • Establish transparent and effective system for risk assessments, surveillance requirements, biosecurity procedures, and a permit process to promote stakeholder acceptance and compliance with regulatory interventions by Federal, State, and Tribal authorities • Response • Implement appropriate COB plan for affected industries or industry segment(s) • Work with industry and Incident Command to facilitate movement of non-infected animals and non-contaminated animal products from non-infected premises

38. Secure Food Supply • Continuity of business plans and processes, like the Secure Food Supply projects, work with quarantines to… • Plan for the managed movement of non-infected animals and non-contaminated animal products from non-infected premises during an outbreak • Facilitate normal business operations, avoiding unnecessary economic consequences, as well as animal welfare issues • Mitigate risk of disease spread through risk assessments, surveillance, biosecurity, cleaning and disinfection, and other measures • National and State/Regional Projects include: • Secure Milk Supply • Secure Pork Supply • Secure Egg Supply

40. The Path Forward: Despite Progress, Challenges Remain 40

41. Scope and Diversity of Sector • System of systems across diverse industry • Sector is very diverse and does not lend itself well to traditional physical asset-based security practices • Improve communication of risk • Develop and promote risk reduction measures

42. Resources • Day-to-day challenges to deal with already; resources are finite • Economic downturn has triggered staff reductions at trade associations and private sector owner operators … food defense is frequently lost in the shuffle • Similar challenges with SLTT partners • Need to identify dual-use applications of food and ag defense initiatives

43. Additional Areas of Improvement • Continue to improve visibility of food and agriculture sector • Increase SLTT and private-sector participation and engagement • Improve two-way communications during an incident • Promote awareness of National Preparedness Goal and National Planning Frameworks

44. The Bottom Line … • The partnership is far from perfect, but, we are far better off today for it • Should something happen, we will be able to act more quickly and efficiently • The investment to date has been worthwhile 44
