There are a number of public health concerns to take into
consideration after natural disasters affect environmental
systems and infrastructures.
In order to ensure the production of safe food in these
establishments, FSIS personnel assigned to slaughter and
processing plants should consider the following documents
as establishments begin to resume production. These documents
include information for discussion with establishment management
before the establishment resumes operations.
These are issues that a prudent establishment would consider,
rather than specific regulatory requirements.
Technical Guidance Documents, one for slaughter and one
for processing establishments, identify possible issues
in establishments affected by natural disasters, such as
Hurricane Katrina.
