The human food chain is under continued threat from an alarming increase in the number of outbreaks of transboundary animal diseases (TADs). Considering the resurgence of certain animal diseases, and persistent threats posed by TADs, a strong emphasis is needed to continue FAO efforts towards building country capacities in preparedness for animal disease emergencies. Planning for emergency disease eradication and control programmes enables regions and national veterinary services to be better equipped to cope with the emergency and achieve rapid and cost-efficient control.
This information sheet showcases the FAO approach to preparedness and management of animal health emergencies: The Good Emergency Management Practice (GEMP). GEMP represents a group of organized procedures, structures and resource management tools that lead to early detection of a disease in an animal population, prediction of the likely spread, prompt limitation, targeted control and elimination. The information sheet describes how FAO helps veterinary services to be technically equipped to cope with a disease emergency and achieve rapid and cost-efficient control. Some recent examples of success as a result of GEMP training are also presented.
