The Farm Flood Readiness Toolkit – made up of eight fact sheets and eight worksheets – will help producers prepare for flooding.
The toolkit was developed with the input of agricultural stakeholders, including 12 technical advisors and several local Agricultural Advisory Committees: two in the Okanagan region and one in the Fraser Valley region.
Using the toolkit will help producers:
understand potential flood scenarios for their operation
identify areas and infrastructure on their farms that are most vulnerable to floods
increase their familiarity with how governments communicate and respond to flood events
understand what measures they can take to defend their farms against flooding
The toolkit's eight fact sheets serve as informational resources on topics ranging from determining risk level to protecting livestock. The worksheets enable producers to actively plan and make decisions specific to their operation's needs.
A completed set of worksheets will form a Farm Flood Readiness Plan.
