The Multi-Hazard Threat Database (MHTD) is a decision support tool for the food protection and emergency response community in North Carolina. It is a secure, web based system that consists of four unique components. The first component of the MHTD is a comprehensive collection of Geographic Information System (GIS) data from all levels of government and the private sector. The second component is the Animal Health Programs (AHP) database which tracks livestock farm locations and animal movements in the state. The third component is a collection of web forms (applications) that allows for remote data collection in a wide range of emergency response areas. The fourth component of the MHTD is an in-house Google Earth viewer for rapid dissemination of spatial awareness. This project can assist local, state, and federal governments to track down harmful agriculture products in the event there is a harmful outbreak.
