All emergencies begin and end locally. While help may be on the way, ensure you have taken precautions to safeguard you, your family and your agricultural enterprise. Make an emergency plan, prepare a response kit; consider actions that will aid you in all phases of the emergency management cycle: Preparedness > Response > Recovery > Mitigation.
