22. A “Response Plan” is being prepared:
To provide technical and educational support for local decisions
To minimize the impacts
To facilitate dissemination of information on the first confirmed detection of SBR in the continental US.

23. Soybean Rust Assessment Team
Scientists and regulatory officials
Report within 24 hours to site of 1st confirmation in continental US
Gather information
Review technical aspects of the site
Prepare a report
