The purpose of the High Stakes simulation was to exercise Kansas local, state and federal departments and agencies in the preparedness for, response to and consequence mitigation of an agroterrorism attack on that state’s livestock industry. Toward that end, county, state and federal agriculture and emergency management personnel were brought together and challenged with a scenario replicating a terrorist-introduced outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) across Kansas.
