Join us at the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association in Unity for a discussion on planning for disasters when owning livestock. We will have a presentation followed by a panel of speakers to discuss what to expect from authorities and industry professionals, to cover best practices vs the realities of having systems in place within your community to weather a disaster.Â
FREE. REGISTRATION REQUIRED.Â
PSA: Not every community is prepared for the worst; consider coming to learn, and then getting involved.Â
Sara Kelemen will speak on:
Planning for a disaster might not prevent one from happening, but it will allow you to respond and react faster and more efficiently should you need to. In this session, we will talk about the basics of how to create a disaster plan for your farm – including thinking through preparedness, risk, hazards, and response.Â
Panel of speakers: Brian Blanchard – DVM, Dale Rowley – Waldo County EMA, John Levers – Unity EMS, Doug Hartkopf – Hart-to-Hart Dairy FarmÂ
