Local Emergency Management officials

Local Public Health officials

THE PROJECTFormally incorporate special avian collections into the

North Carolina Containment and Response Plan for Highly Pathogenic and Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza

Conduct meetings with facilities that maintain specialized collections of birds

THE PROJECTPlan for appropriate response to a foreign animal disease

outbreakEmphasis on preservation and business continuity

Strengthen relationships with federal, state, and local partners that may be involved or impacted by an outbreak

OBJECTIVESMake connections and introduce the project to

stakeholders including public and private special avian collections, state and local animal health, public health, and emergency management officials, academia

 Evaluate existing foreign animal disease outbreak

management plans and resources from stakeholders

Meet with stakeholders to review or create foreign animal disease outbreak management plans and gather input

OBJECTIVES

Create an Annex to the NC Containment and Response Plan for HPAI and LPAI that incorporates special avian collections into the response

 Conduct a Workshop with all stakeholders to further

identify any gaps in the Annex

Conduct education and outreach on the Annex to special avian collections

THE ANNEXLanguage describing the Special Avian Collections

response will be incorporated into the existing plan

There will also be a separate document – a cheat sheet – with key appendices• Easy for Special Avian Collections or Emergency

Managers to pull out and follow if needed

III. Personnel Resources – Partner Responsibilities

NCDA&CS – EP and VSUSDA APHIS – AVIC and StaffCommercial Poultry IndustryNC Division of Public HealthNCSU-CVM, NCDENR, NCEM, DOT, othersSpecial Avian Collections

IV. Routine AI Surveillance

USDA APHIS NPIPLive Bird Market System LPAI surveillance programBackyard poultry used for meat, eggs, and exhibitionsMigratory waterfowl and shorebirds

Special Avian Collections are not part of the routine avian surveillance program but testing would be done at these facilities as requested or if initial samples indicate potential infection.

V. General Response Strategy to HPAI or LPAI in NC

Response is coordinated by the State Veterinarian with USDA APHIS and industry partners

Incident Command System

Considerations for commercial and non-commercial birdsWild BirdsCommercial PoultryBackyard Poultry (non-commercial, niche, small flocks)

VI. Response to Avian Influenza - Protocols

Vaccination

Protection of Personnel

Containment Areas

Biosecurity (within standard)

LPAI subtypes not H5 or H7

LPAI subtypes H5 or H7

HPAI any subtype

State Quarantine Process

Quarantine Release Procedure

VII. Appraisal and Indemnification

There are appraisal protocols that includeProcessDescription of appraisersCalculators (commercial poultry oriented)

NeededProcess applied to special avian collections

VIII. DepopulationGoal contain and eradicate to preserve valuable birds

That being said…have a planDescription of how depopulation could be accomplished on all

species in the facility

IX. Disposal

Disposal protocols for the facility

Disposal locations

Transport and handling of carcasses

Disinfection protocols

AZA Plan - Section 2.7

X. Epidemiologic Investigation

NCDA&CS and USDA APHIS work in conjunction

Determine the cause and extent of the outbreak

Trace-back, trace-forward, quarantines

Response Structure

How will Special Avian Collections fit into ICS?SAC LiaisonSAC BranchJoint Information Center (JIC)

SAC may provide a PIO

FeedbackOverall very positive

Understanding of potential for prioritizing most valuable birds

Understanding of how they will fit into the response

Communication
