FAO-REUFIS webinar: Contingency plans and early warning systems – how can they help protect forests?

Hybrid Event, 24/11/2021

Join us on 24 November 2021, 11:00 - 14:00 CET

Early warning/early action systems are valuable tools to mitigate potentially detrimental events such as pest and disease outbreaks through preventative activities. Well formulated early warning/early action systems and contingency plans provide better preparedness and guidance to industries, scientists, regulators, communities, and public on what actions to take and how to implement them in an event of an incursion or outbreak as well as how to recover from after such event.

 

The joint FAO-REUFIS webinar will:

  • Raise awareness and preparedness for future pest and disease outbreaks in our forests
  • Introduce contingency planning and implementation
  • Share experiences on early warning systems and contingency planning.
