USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD-PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: Quarantine & Movement Control - Overview

3

• Quarantine– Stringent restrictions

– Prohibits movement from specified premises, area, or region

• Hold order– Temporary, during investigation

– Usually under State authority

• Standstill notice– Temporary, prohibits new movement

– Federal authority/official notice

Definitions


4

• Movement control– Controls movement in Control Area

–Movement from premises with no evidence of infection

– Permits based on criteria

• Continuity of business (COB)–Managed movement for specific

commodity

Definitions cont’d


5

1. Detect, control, contain FAD quickly

2. Eradicate FAD, protective strategies

3. Facilitate COB for non-infected animals and products

• Allow farms to resume normal operations and U.S. to regain disease-free status as quickly as possible

Goals of FAD Response


6

• Preparedness goals– Develop effective QMC plans for

affected locations

– Develop effective movement control and permit plans for non-infected locations

• Response goals– Implement QMC quickly

– Consider competing priorities - disease transmission vs. critical movements

Goals of QMC


7

Authorities


8

• APHIS authority through AHPA Act• Secretary of Ag is authorized to:– Prevent, detect, control, and eradicate

diseases and pests of animals

– Protect animal, human health and welfare, and economic interests

– Prohibit importation, entry or interstate movement throughout US

– Prevent the introduction or dissemination of disease

Federal Authority


9

• Initially, State, Tribal, local authorities and resources

• Authority granted to SAHO varies• Quarantine– May be issued on FAD detection or suspicion

– Scope based on specific authority

– Intended to control disease intrastate

• Extraordinary emergency (USDA)– Authorized to control intrastate, interstate,

and international movement

State Authority


10

Response to a Foreign Animal Disease Outbreak


11

Critical Activities

Critical Activities and Tools for Containment, Control, and Eradication• Public awareness campaign• Swift imposition of effective QMC• Rapid diagnosis and reporting• Epidemiological investigation and tracing• Increased surveillance• COB measures for non-infected animals and non-

contaminated animal products• Biosecurity measures• Cleaning and disinfection measures• Effective and appropriate disposal procedures• Mass depopulation and euthanasia (as response strategy

indicates)• Emergency vaccination (as the response strategy indicates)

Zones, Areas, Premises


13

General Considerations for Quarantine and Movement

Control


14

• Coordination conducted through ICS• Planning enhances efficiency– Determine authorities

– Identify resources

– Identify agricultural routes

– Develop communications plans

– Ensure appropriate supplies

– Understand roles and responsibilities

Coordination and Planning


15

Progression of Activities


16

Individual Premises Quarantine

(Typically State)


17

• State authority varies by State• Criteria for issuance varies by State • Animals may, or may not be present– Notify owner/agent and secure premises

– Establish biosecurity and restrict movement

– Develop contingency plans• Prepare for essential movement and

medical emergencies

Implementing Premises Quarantine


18

Area or Region Quarantine(Typically Federal)


19

• Federal authority to quarantine a Control Area– Disease agent, trading considerations,

State-specific issues, epidemiology

• Appear as Federal Register Notice• In addition to premises quarantines• Unified Command, State and Federal • States efforts reimbursed

Implementing Federal Area Quarantine


20

• Premises quarantine released if confident with disease status

• Federal area quarantine released with Federal Register notice – Does not need to be all at once

– Portions at a time reducing the size ofControl Area

– Trade considerations or epidemiologic information

Quarantine Release


21

Movement Control and Permitting


22

• Moving animals, animal products, and fomites

• Broad Guidance – – APHIS Foreign Animal Disease Framework:

Response Strategies (FAD PReP Manual 2-0)

• Specific criteria– Science

– Risk of disease transmission

– Circumstances of the outbreak

Control Area Movements


23

• COB, managed movement– Specific criteria for movement

• Voluntary participation• Criteria– Surveillance

– Cleaning, disinfection

– Biosecurity measures

– Epidemiological information

USDA APHIS and CFSPH

Continuity of Business

FAD-PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: Quarantine & Movement Control - Overview

24

• Biosecure movement - three types– Essential movements

– Commonly allowed movements

– Voluntary COB movements

• Considers risk assessments, surveillance, biosecurity, national and OIE standards

• EMRS 2.0 is the system of record for any FAD incident

Permitting


25

• Enforce requirements–May require permit for movement• Verifies vehicle is in compliance

with regulations

• Standard operating procedures provided through Incident Command

• Animals not held at checkpoints• Violations reported to officials

USDA APHIS and CFSPH

Checkpoints

26

Personnel


27

• Responder Safety– Orientation covering precautions

– Required personal protective equipment

• Biosecurity– Prevent disease spread

– Knowingly or unknowingly contaminated

– Understand pathogen transmission

–Work zones control access
