Fruit fly emergency response plan.

The fruit fly emergency response plan provides guidance to respond quickly and effectively to a fruit fly outbreak before the species spread and become established. It lays down biosecurity measures to prevent the incursion of exotic fruit fly and to eradicate as a successful and cost effective solution in response to an early detection of exotic fruit fly incursion.
The scope and purpose of the fruit fly emergency response plan includes: (i) rapidly and effective response to exotic fruit fly species detected in the country; (ii) monitoring of exotic fruit fly species; (iii) definition of the roles of agencies, relevant parties and individuals involved in the fruit fly emergency response; (iv) effective and timely communication between national government ministries, regional organizations and members of the general public, in relation to exotic fruit fly species outbreaks; and (v) public awareness-raising on the impacts of exotic fruit fly and response activities.
