Based on results from a stochastic simulation model, it was possible to create a simple model in excel to estimate the requirements for personnel and materiel during an FMD outbreak in Denmark. The model can easily be adjusted, when new information on resources appears from management of other crisis or from new model runs

Results: Anette Boklund1*, Sten Mortensen2, Maren Holm Johansen3, Tariq Halasa1 1. Simulation model Danish FMD-epidemics were modelled in InterSpread Plus, based on data from 2006-2007 (Boklund et al., 2013)  100 epidemics starting in cattle herds in cattle dense areas were selected for resource calculations. Based on numbers of detected herds, 45-55 percentiles were used.     Materials and methods 2. Ressource estimations Resources for:  • detected herds  • suspected herds • traced herds • herds in zones  • local crisis-centers  Manpower and material was estimated      3.

However, the need for personnel in the Danish Emergency Management Agency (responsible for the hygiene barrier and initial cleaning and disinfection of the farm) would peak already on day 4 with a need for almost 500 persons, mostly recruits.   0200400600800100012000 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000Numbers of detected herds Iteration number 45-55 percentile
