Section 1. Your Security Plan
Farm security should be built into your operation's every day routine.
Farm Security
Community Emergency Management
Check with your local emergency manager to see if your  community has an emergency management plan in place that includes farmers and the agricultural industry. If so, ask for a copy to help you understand what you can expect in an emergency and how your business fits into community emergency response. If not, ask that this component be added. Refer them to your local Extension agent and "Strengthening Community Agrosecurity Planning (S-CAP)". This course, offered by Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN), focuses on helping communities develop these plans. |
