Purpose: Emergency Management Plans (Exotic Disease) To raise awareness of exotic disease and the emergency management plans in place at Commonwealth and State level. Background: The Emergency Animal Disease Response Agreement (EADRA) is a contractual arrangement that brings together the Commonwealth, state and territory governments and livestock industry groups to collectively and significantly increase Australia s capacity to prepare for, and respond to, emergency animal disease (EAD) incursions. In NSW DPI has implemented the NSW Biosecurity (Animal and Plant) Emergency Sub-Plan. It is also the NSW Emergency Animal Disease Counter Disaster Plan under AUSVETPLAN. All abattoirs should have an Exotic Disease Plan included in their food safety program. Old plans and procedures need to be reviewed and update to include current contacts and contingencies.
Emergency Management Plans (Exotic Disease) What Exotic Disease Plan (EDP) should contain: Information and training material on exotic diseases and what to look for during AM & PM inspection. Reporting procedures and contact details for DPI, LHPA, NSW FA. Interim management of facility to prevent movements on and off the property of persons, animals and vehicles. Detail site plan for all abattoir property and current number of animals on the holdings. List saleyard contacts and regular suppliers of property to abattoir producer contacts. Maintain good traceability system for all livestock entering plant. The plan and procedures should be reviewed and update when required.
