Emergency Preparedness

Is Your Farm Ready For An Emergency?

Emergencies don’t wait for convenience. Whether it's a barn fire, a flood, or a disease outbreak, being prepared can mean the difference between quick recovery and long-term loss.

Developing an emergency preparedness plan is essential for every farm business. Emergencies demand fast, informed action to protect people, livestock, and property. Without a clear plan, stress and emotion can lead to poor decisions and unnecessary damage.

A solid emergency plan helps you stay grounded when things get chaotic. It can guide you in real time, minimize harm, and protect what matters most: your people, your animals, and your livelihood.

What Counts as an Emergency?

On the farm, emergencies come in many forms.  Understanding which risks are most likely in your area is the first step toward building a relevant and effective plan.
