Agroterrorism Classes
January through March 2010 (class
info)
The Western Institute for
Food Safety & Security
is a training partner of the
California Office of Homeland Security (OHS) and U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), and the University of California, Davis. It is
tasked with the development and delivery of certified courses on
agroterrorism. WIFSS is developing and delivering training for local
frontline response teams to strengthen their capability to prevent,
mitigate, detect, respond to, and recover from agroterrorism incidents in
their communities. The overall goal of this effort is to enhance
preparedness at the front lines to attacks on agriculture or the food
system by weapons of mass destruction. The curriculum, comprised of six
courses, is geared to introduce the concepts of agroterrorism to both
frontline response teams and agricultural industry leaders. Together,
these groups need to interact to form a coalition of community teams to
develop appropriate responses to potential targets.
The
classes are being offered at the Agricultural Center Conference Room at
1428-1432 Abbott Street, Salinas. Registration and further information
