Animal disease outbreak: providing information quickly and clearly
When an outbreak of a contagious animal disease occurs, things move quickly: a ban on moving livestock and transport is imposed, and culling is sometimes required. CrisisRadar helps the agricultural sector, NVWA and local authorities to provide immediate information to farmers and local residents.
What happens
A case of avian flu is detected at a poultry farm. A transport ban is immediately imposed within a radius around the farm, and a nationwide mandatory housing order is introduced. The infected farm must be culled and neighbouring farms investigated. This has major consequences for farmers in the area. Farmers want to know quickly whether they are within a restricted zone, what they are and are not allowed to do, and where they can go with any questions. Local residents are concerned about their health and that of their pets. The Provincial Executive (NVWA) and the local council must provide the same factual information; otherwise, this will lead to unrest and rumours.
