Our Emergency Management and @GDAFoodSafety teams are preparing for FIFA events coming to Atlanta later this month!

Recently, they hosted a tabletop exercise alongside several state partners, including the @GaDPH, @GBI_GA, and the @PoisonCenterGA.

This collaborative training helped strengthen our FIFA food defense preparedness efforts in the event of a foodborne outbreak. We had excellent participation and appreciate everyone who contributed to the success of the exercise.
