Risk Assessments
The Secure Turkey Supply plan (STS) risk assessments are based on current research in virology, epidemiology, and risk-assessment as well as poultry industry practice. The STS uses science- and risk-based preparedness and response components to proactively assess the risk associated with the movement of turkey industry products from a premises in a Control Area during an HPAI outbreak. The mitigation measures evaluated in the proactive risk assessments have been translated into permit guidance for the movement of turkey industry products (learn about permit guidances in the Secure Poultry Supply Plan).
