The Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) Resource & Collaboration webpage remains available; however, support from the CAPS Information Services (CAPSIS) team is currently limited. For critical questions or support requests, please contact Darrell.A.Bays@usda.gov and Tina.Gresham@usda.gov. We will assist in resolving critical issues as much as possible, but routine inquiries or requests may need to wait until CAPSIS services are fully restored. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
