Disasters can have major impacts on agricultural operations, from crop and equipment damage to lost wages and revenue. With proactive planning and knowledge of available disaster resources, agricultural operators can help reduce impacts on their farms and get back up and running faster after a shock event like a flood or landslide.

Join Thrive, SF CARD, South Coast Sustainable, and the San Mateo Resource Conservation District for a two-hour workshop where farmers learn practical strategies to keep operations running during disasters. We will cover hazard mitigation on farms, disaster cleanup resources, planning for labor availability, guidelines for employee safety and payroll during a disaster, and where to seek relief funds.

This training is designed for farm owners and operators, but all are welcome. Dinner will be provided.
