CANCELLED - Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate Training

• Tuesday, March 10, 2020, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

The Farm Disaster Preparation program will help farm owners plan for and manage disasters that might occur. This program focuses on practical pre-disaster education and preparedness, regarding farm equipment safety on the road, fire or structure collapse, storm and wind damage, criminal activity, farm chemical risks and biosecurity. Farms that complete the Farm Disaster Preparation training will receive a certificate to provide to their insurer and may be eligible for a credit or discount toward the farm’s annual insurance premium. The value of the credit or discount will vary according to individual policies and policyholder circumstances but can be up to a 10 percent discount.

The Farm Disaster Preparation Certificate is directed to all sizes of farms and all types of products. Dairy and livestock farms are especially encouraged to participate in the program due to their additional concerns regarding animal agriculture.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required by March 6th. Training fee is $35.00 per farm which includes lunch. The person representing a farm should be the insurance policyholder; other key farm personnel are welcome $12/additional farm member. For more information or to pre-register contact Lynn Bliven at 585-268-7644 ext. 18 or email at lao3@cornell.edu.

Course Instructors: Lynn Bliven and Jim Carrabba, Agricultural Safety Specialist with NYCAMH.

NYCAMH/NEC is a program of Bassett Healthcare, funded in part by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the New York State Departments of Labor and Health, is enhancing agricultural and rural health by preventing and treating occupational injury and illness.
