Abstract: This IC request collects information from State and local governments regarding their capabilities to regulate and protect the food supply, as well as their capabilities to respond in the event of an intra- or inter-state food safety emergency. These capabilities are measured by a combination of the resources devoted to specific activities and programs, participation in regional and national collaborative efforts, IT infrastructure, interagency agreements, and other data points. The IC is a tool to measure the progress of State and local programs over the past three years as a result of actions taken to address the results of the initial review that was conducted in 2012.
