4.5. Isolation of Goods and Materials

Beyond limiting the potential for additional spread of contamination via transportation of goods, the isolation of contaminated (and potentially contaminated) products (e.g., import/export restrictions) will also help reinforce public messages around the health risks and safety of regionally-produced goods, both immediately and long-term after the incident. These messages should target both the domestic and international communities and influence the area’s overall achievement of economic recovery outcomes.
