Development of preparedness plans, training, equipping and the conduct of exercises are necessary to protect Colorado's agriculture communities.

 

The four phases that make this possible are:  prevent, protect, respond and recover.  By building on these components, Colorado is better prepared to handle adverse events.

BE PREPARED!

All emergencies begin 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.
