“Emerging Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Plan” Available for Review and Comment
September 14, 2016 —
In July 2014, USDA’s Veterinary Services (VS) presented a “Veterinary Services Proposed Framework for Response to Emerging Animal Diseases in the United States.” A new document, “Emerging Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Plan,” expands on the framework and describes the processes by which VS will identify, evaluate, and respond to emerging diseases in animal populations. VS is inviting stakeholders to review and comment on the draft plan. Comments should be e-mailed to VS.SPRS.Feedback@aphis.usda.gov no later than November 1, 2016.
