Components of the risk assessment
[Under development]

This indicator will provide information to inform the headline assessment made by the EIG and stakeholders. The measures are likely to cover a wide range of subjects, which in isolation do not allow assessment but together contribute to a wider understanding. It needs defining, however. Suggestions include:

  • training of staff
  • vets
  • resource measures
  • testing facilities
  • movements of animals
  • tracing of animals
  • biosecurity
  • illegal imports
  • media communication
