Applying Risk and Decision Analysis to Animal Health and Security
For the National Center for Foreign Animal and Zoonotic Disease Defense (funded by the Department of Homeland Security), the Center is using uncertainty analysis and decision analysis to assess the vulnerability of the livestock industry to intentional introduction of foot-and-mouth disease. This will enable identification of the most effective strategies for preparedness and response.- Sponsor: Department of Homeland Security
- Affiliated Researchers: Vicki Bier, Lorna Zach, Najmedin Meshkati, Michael Ward, Michael Orosz, Terry Benzel
- Sample Work Product: Applying Risk and Decision Analysis to Food and Animal Health and Security
