Participants’ Awareness About: 1. Importance and vulnerability of agriculture and food and effects of potential terrorist acts Need to participate in preparedness efforts to protect the state’s agriculture and food Who should be contacted in an agricultural emergency Unusual clinical signs or “BUDDIES”a in animals that may indicate serious disease or agroterrorism Need to inform local veterinarian immediately about unusual clinical signs in animals Plant disease symptoms such as 5Dsb Need to inform local Cooperative Extension Office immediately about plant disease symptomsc Chain of events that occur when an agricultural incident is reported Legislation and measures in place to help protect the food supply Risk assessments, risk management and risk communication Steps to take in my community when there is an emergency

General awareness about agrosecurity
a
BUDDIES, an acronym for clinical signs of diseases in animals, stands for blisters, unusual ticks or maggots, death/ downers, diarrhea, illnesses or abortions in high numbers, eating abnormality/will not eat and staggering/strange neurological signs, including spasms.
b
The 5Ds of plant disease is an acronym for recognizing symptoms: discolored, deformed, defoliated, dying and deficient.
c
Notification of County Extension Agents in the event of a suspected agricultural-related problem is an important step. In Georgia, agents can help notify the appropriate authorities and can take measures to help clients isolate conditions and avoid further spread of disease until the appropriate help arrives.
RESULTS
Participants who completed the Agrosecurity Awareness training program submitted 1,670 evaluations. There were participants from 131 of Georgia’s 159 counties. The majority of the participants
were firefighters and law enforcement personnel; however, 19% were directly involved in agriculture and food-related industries (Table 1). The comparison of pre- and post-training awareness data for each item indicates that the curriculum significantly increased the aware-
ness of participants on each individual topic (P = 0.01) as well as improved their awareness in general about agrosecurity (P = 0.01), as summarized in Table 2. Mean scores of pre- and post-training awareness levels are presented in Fig. 1. Over 85% of participants indicated that
