VT Directive 5500.2 SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT RESPONSE

This directive outlines the procedures that the Emergency Management Committee (EMC) is to follow while managing a non-routine incident. A significant incident is one that presents a grave, or potentially grave, threat to public health, to the safety of VAAFM-regulated products, or VAAFM personnel. VAAFM is revising this directive to further clarify when a non-routine incident (e.g., natural disaster) becomes a significant incident and may require the creation of an incident report (IR). This directive also outlines the internal VAAFM communication protocol for threats to the food and agriculture sector that may lead to a significant incident.
