minimal. If the infestation is unrecognized,
then there is the potential for the food supply
to be contaminated.

protective clothing, gloves, etc as these
diseases cause no risk to humans.

COOP.
Property, Facilities, and Infrastructure Minimal Localized impact to facilities and
infrastructure in the incident area is minimal
to non-existent.

larger depending on the extent of the
contaminated crop/crop loss.
