Safeguarding Animal Health Returning NVS Items Step 1: Determine Returnable Items The ordering manager (ORDM) creates a NVS Returnable Items Issued report to identify the locations of recoverable items and provides it to the supply unit leader to give to the operations section chief. The ORDM creates a list by site of returnable NVS items, including the following:  Depopulation equipment  PAPRs  Self-refilling syringes  Empty/noncontaminated tri-walls.  Foam units and CO2 carts  Portable vaccine storage containers  All items coded as returnable ( Y or ) 4

Safeguarding Animal Health Returning NVS Items Step 2: Coordinate Pickup or Return of Items Operations section chief (OSC) provides response sites a list of returnable items and directs field responders to clean and disinfect (C&D) items before items are returned to the warehouse. Incident command determines the required C&D procedures on the basis of the disease and use of the returnable item. The supply unit leader coordinates pickup or return of items to the warehouse with the OSC and ground support and communications units. California Foot-And-Mouth Disease Exercise June 2011 5
