Swine Influenza: Tips and toolkits to strengthen response

Responding to an animal health event at county fairs requires quick thinking, flexibility, and teamwork. Many times, especially in the case of zoonotic diseases like swine influenza, multiple organizations have a role in the response. In this webinar, participants will learn about the resources available from various agencies to assist fairs when working through zoonotic disease events. We will also discuss the proactive steps that local fairs can take to build their response team prior to the county fair.  This educational session is a great opportunity for swine and other animal superintendents, fair managers, fair board members, MSUE staff and local health department partners to build their skill set and work to properly prepare their County Fair for an animal health event!
