Mizoram, a mountainous state nestling in the southern tip of the northeastern region of India, remains in constant threat of TADs, affecting the growth of livestock value chains. In recent years, the State suffered from Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) outbreak. Subsequently, the first outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF) emerged and is continuing.
The existing initiatives within the State primarily focus on emergency management cycle stages, viz. prepare, prevent, and detect. The expected outcome of the study is policy initiatives to enable the commissioning of a GIS-based decision support system (DSS) to support the implementation of action plans related to the 'response' and 'recover' phases.
