pdfAPHIS HPAI Response Responder Feedback Survey
1. Introduction
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent animal health emergency response
assignment. Your feedback is valuable and will contribute to APHIS VS’s efforts to improve our
animal health emergency response capabilities.
This survey is completely anonymous and should take the average responder approximately 30
minutes to complete. You will only be asked to evaluate activities that were applicable to your
response role. Please answer all of the questions as completely as possible. You are encouraged to
provide recommendations, even for things that worked well. It is critical that you provide ideas and
suggestions for areas that you believe need improvement.
Should you have any questions regarding this survey, please consult your emergency response
supervisor or the appropriate Incident Command Section Chief.
The USDA APHIS Veterinary Services Senior Leadership and Incident Coordination Group appreciate
your insight as well as your time in helping us build better animal health emergency response plans.

The following questions examine the 23 critical activities for responding to an animal health incident.
For each critical activity, you will be asked your level of involvement with the activity. If you respond
that you had "No" level of involvement, the survey will skip ahead to the next critical activity. If you
answer "Yes," you performed the activity, or observed it and would like to provide feedback, you will
then be asked to rate the activity and identify strengths, lessons learned, and recommendations.
