This free Farmer's FireSmart Workshop is part of the Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program (NEPP) and introduces farmers to FireSmart principles which are designed to mitigate a property's vulnerability to wildfire.
This workshop is suitable for all producer types – from livestock to mixed agriculture operations to vineyards, tree fruit and field crops. Specifically, a Wildfire Plan:
- Helps producers make decisions while there is time to consider options and collect specific information that may be difficult to obtain in a crisis.
- Informs family, staff, neighbours, and first responders how they can help
- May help those intending to return during or after an evacuation order.
- Reduces harm to agricultural operations, assets, crops and livestock.
- Demonstrates “due diligence” when negotiating with insurance providers.
