Message to consumers Stop the source
Prevent recurrence

National Rapid Response Team Concept
• Surveillance, investigation, and response, to alleged food-related incidents and emergencies
• Collection, analysis, and dissemination of information that may prevent recurrence
• Response to all food hazard incidents in the farm to table continuum using ICS
• Operate in conjunction with other food and feed agencies, other state RRTs, FDA district offices, and state emergency response operations centers.

Scope of Team OperationsThe purpose of the TRRT is to provide preparedness, prevention, and timely response to food and/or feed related disasters that may affect the citizens of Texas.
The TRRT may respond to large scale investigations involving food and/or feed and large scale recalls of food and/or feed. It is not intended to include a natural disaster (hurricane, forest fire, etc.). However, there may be outcomes of a natural disaster that require the activation of all or portions of the TRRT under the State of Texas Emergency Operations Command.

Highlights of the TRRT
• ICS Structure– Combined Federal/State Team
• Response Operating Guidelines• Communication Platform – Traction®
Software – Allows remote uploading – Sharing of extensive traceback records– Ability to pull in other RRT States
