- development or revision of animal disease or hazard plans;
- training and exercising the plans;
- procurement (purchase, rent, lease) of equipment required for response to a disease outbreak;
- contracting out response activities;
- training staff to use response equipment;
- research around improved disease outbreak response, such as depopulation methods;
- research of prevention/mitigation strategies, such as vaccination or biosecurity strategies, implementation of mitigation and biosecurity measures/strategies.
