4 Introduction The United States Department of Agriculture s (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) works to end hunger and obesity through the administration of 15 Federal nutrition assistance programs including Women Infants and Children (WIC), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and school meals. In partnership with State and Tribal governments, their programs serve one in four Americans during the course of a year. Working with public, private, and non-profit partners, their mission is to increase food security and reduce hunger by providing children and low-income people access to food and nutrition education in a way that supports American agriculture and inspires public confidence. FNS is committed to ensuring access to healthy and safe food for those participating in their programs including expecting mothers; infants and children in child care and school; low-income families going to food banks; local farmers markets; and local supermarkets. These are investments that support education, health care, and a competitive workforce. FNS is committed to the sound stewardship of taxpayer dollars through aggressive efforts to reduce and prevent fraud and increase efficiency. Among FNS s most well-known programs is the USDA Foods program. USDA Foods include high quality fruits, vegetables, dairy products, whole grains, lean meats, poultry and fish. USDA distributes these food items to food banks, soup kitchens, disaster relief organizations, Indian Tribal Organizations, charitable institutions and other feeding organizations. USDA foods are also offered to schools in order to help them provide healthy, high quality lunches to more than 32 million children daily. USDA Foods are just one of the many ways USDA is ensuring all Americans have access to healthy foods. 2

18 FNS Recall Communication Methods FNS uses a variety of methods to communicate information about recalls of USDA Foods. It may also provide information about recalls of commercial foods that may have been purchased locally by RAs, but are not USDA Foods. The following lists illustrate the various methods of communication that FNS uses to notify SDAs and the general public about food recalls that may affect RAs, such as SFAs and schools. The difference between the two lists depends on whether the recall affects USDA Foods or commercial foods that might have been purchased locally by RAs. To communicate recall information about USDA Foods, FNS: Activates the RAS in WBSCM and notifies SDAs that received the recalled product. Sends an to FNS Regional Office food safety contacts and asks them to forward the information to their respective SDA contacts. Posts an announcement in the recalls forum on the WBSCM homepage. Posts an announcement to the FNS Food Safety website at safety/food safety *The FNS Food Safety website also features the FoodSafety.gov widget, which displays the latest recall and alert notifications from FSIS and FDA. May use social media, such as Twitter and USDA Blogs. May send an notification through the public Commodity Alert System. *This system is designed for the general public. To register to receive notices about recalls through the Commodity Alert System, visit ALERTS/ May send an to GovDelivery subscribers. May provide partner organizations, such as the School Nutrition Association and the American Commodity Distribution Association, with information to share with their membership. 16
19 May contact the Department of Education and request that recall information be posted to their Crisis Communication System, or website. This approach is reserved for crises of significant public health proportions. To communicate recall information about a commercial food (i.e., non USDA Foods), FNS may: Send an to FNS Regional Office food safety contacts with information to send to SDA contacts. Post an announcement in the recalls forum on the WBSCM homepage. Post an announcement to the FNS Food Safety website at safety/food safety Use social media, such as Twitter and USDA Blogs. Send an to GovDelivery subscribers. Important Note: FNS encourages all SDAs and RAs to sign up for food safety recall alerts from FSIS and FDA through 17

21 Functions of Federal and State Agencies Many Federal agencies are involved in the recall process. Players in the process vary, depending on the product involved in the recall. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) Regulates meat, poultry, and egg products. Oversees the effectiveness of the recall process. Negotiates a food recall, if necessary. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Ensures the safety of all foods other than meat, poultry, and egg products, such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products in the food supply. Oversees the effectiveness of the recall process. Requires a food recall, if necessary. Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Notifies SDAs that received the recalled USDA Foods. Contacts processors that received bulk foods from USDA. Provides instructions on product disposition and the reimbursement process. Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Purchases USDA Foods on the commercial market. Provides purchase information (i.e., amount of product, delivery date, and location of shipments) pertaining to recalled foods. Works with manufacturer to determine if recalled product will be picked up or destroyed by RA. Farm Service Agency (FSA) Purchase USDA Foods on the commercial market. Provide purchase information (amount of product, delivery date, and location of shipments) pertaining to recalled foods. Works with manufacturer to determine if recalled product will be picked up or destroyed by RA. State Distributing Agency (SDA) Notifies RA about recalled USDA Foods. Contacts in-state processors and contracted distributors. Compiles inventory information from all entities in the State. 19

31 DISASTER DECLARATION PROCESS The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C (the Stafford Act) 401 states in part that: "All requests for a declaration by the President that a major disaster exists shall be made by the governor of the affected state." A state also includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia are also eligible to request a declaration and receive assistance. Preliminary Disaster Assessment The governor's request is made through the applicable FEMA Regional Office. State and federal officials conduct a joint federal, state, and local Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) to determine the extent of the disaster and its impact on individuals and public facilities. This information is included in the governor's request to show that the disaster is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the state and the local governments and that supplemental federal assistance is necessary. Normally, the PDA is completed prior to the submission of the governor's request. However, when an obviously severe or catastrophic event occurs, the governor's request may be submitted prior to the PDA. State Resources Overwhelmed As part of the request, the Governor must take appropriate action under State law and direct execution of the State's emergency plan. The Governor shall furnish information on the nature and amount of State and local resources that have been or will be committed to alleviating the results of the disaster, provide an estimate of the amount and severity of damage and the impact on the private and public sectors, and provide an estimate of the type and amount of assistance needed under the Stafford Act. In addition, the Governor must certify that, for the current disaster, State and local government obligations and expenditures (of which State commitments must be a significant proportion) will comply with all applicable cost sharing requirements. Declaration Types There are two types of disaster declarations provided for in the Stafford Act: Emergency Declarations and Major Disaster Declarations. Both declaration types authorize the President to provide supplemental federal disaster assistance. However, the event related to the disaster declaration and type and amount of assistance differ. Emergency Declarations: An Emergency Declaration can be declared for any occasion or instance when the President determines federal assistance is needed. Emergency 29
32 Declarations supplement State and local efforts in providing emergency services, such as the protection of lives, property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States. The total amount of assistance provided for a single emergency may not exceed $5 million. If this amount is exceeded, the President shall report to Congress. Major Declaration: The President can declare a Major Disaster Declaration for any natural event, including any hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, wind driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or drought, or, regardless of cause, fire, flood, or explosion, that the President believes has caused damage of such severity that it is beyond the combined capabilities of state and local governments to respond. A major disaster declaration provides a wide range of federal assistance programs for individuals and public infrastructure, including funds for both emergency and permanent work. Situation of Distress A hurricane, tornado, storm, flood, high water, wind driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, drought, fire, explosion, or other natural catastrophe not declared by the President to be a disaster, but which, in the judgment of the Distributing Agency, warrants the use of USDA Foods for congregate feeding; any other situation not declared by the President to be a disaster, but which, in the judgment of FNS or the Distributing Agency warrants the use of USDA Foods for congregate feeding or household distribution. As outlined in 7 CFR (see also 7 CRF and 7 CFR ), FNS uses the term situation of distress when a natural catastrophe or other situation has not been declared a disaster or emergency by the President, but, in the judgment of the Distributing Agency or FNS, warrants the use of USDA Foods. *Pandemics may be considered situations of distress. 30

37 USDA Foods Inventories, Continued The Rapid Food Response System option should only be pursued by a Distributing Agency when available inventories from within their agency and available inventories from Distributing Agencies immediately surrounding it are not adequate to meet disaster feeding needs. To activate the Rapid Food Response System, the Distributing Agency should contact the FNS Regional Office (FNSRO), which approves all such requests. The FNSRO or FNS Headquarters, in turn, contacts the appropriate Rapid Food Response State to obtain USDA Foods and help arrange delivery. 35
