Just-in-Time Training for Responders

The response tasks for an animal health emergency can vary and involve a number of responders of different backgrounds. To ensure an effective and efficient response, proper training of responders for their assigned tasks is necessary.

Through funding from the Multi-State Partnership for Security in Agriculture, the CFSPH has developed Just-In-Time (JIT) training materials to help prepare responders for various aspects and tasks involved during an animal health emergency response.

The training includes:

PPT – a short, 15 to 20 minute PowerPoint presentation covering the topic
SPN – speaker notations for each slide of the PowerPoint presentation
AUDIO (.mp3) and VIDEO (.mp4) recordings of each presentation
[Note: Audio and Video files are large and may take a few minutes to download]
Key Points and 6-Slide handouts for each presentation
