Scenario:
You are presently the sole homeland security planner and other roles in emergency management for the county of wait, NC, with a population of 30,000. It is primarily rural, with farming the major industry. Last week, the town board returned from a retreat where one of the presenters outlined the concept of weapons of mass destruction and their impact on the global food supply, and their ability to affect the local economy. The board wants to ensure all that can be done to protect the farmers from WMDs are being done. The board would like a presentation on what support the county can provide for the farming community in the protection of crops, and livestock from the effects of WMDs, what facts and steps would you present to them?
