What Can YOU Do? Here are simple, yet important steps you
can take to prevent or respond to threats to our food supply:
Be Aware – -- Know who your local law enforcement
officials are and how to contact them. -- Continually check animals and
crops for unusual health changes.
Be Bold – -- Know all your employees, monitor visitors,
ask strangers for photo ID. -- Establish system to promote ongoing security
consciousness.
Be Careful – -- Have adequate outside lights and/or
backup energy sources. -- Consider adding alarms, cameras, motion detection
lights and other appropriate security enhancements.
Be Diligent – -- Lock doors, windows and equipment and
feed storage areas. -- Schedule and monitor all deliveries and maintenance.
Be Enterprising – -- Inspect all feed, equipment and
other inputs for signs of tampering. -- Develop alternative water and feed
sources as backups.
