Subscribe to FoodSHIELD NewsFoodSHIELD is proud to host access to a new system release from the National Center for Food Protection and Defense (NCFPD).
FAS-CAT stands for Food Agriculture Sector Criticality Assessment Tool. This tool is an advanced Excel application that helps identify critical assets in the food and agriculture sector and provide reporting mechanisms to Homeland Security.
Its objectives are:
- Improve the overall process for food and agriculture critical system/sub-system identification
- Provide greater equity in cross sector critical system identification for DHS
- Enable the states to identify critical food and agriculture system components
- Provide a common methodology to the process
- Improve critical asset reporting to Homeland Security
For those requiring access to this tool, the Excel Application and PDF guidance document are available from either FoodSHIELD or NCFPD's home pages. The Video Tutorial that walks you through a demo of the tool is also available at those locations.
