Title: Livestock disaster preparedness: What’s law got to do with it?
Abstract: From floods and wildfires to hazardous materials spills and barn fires, every year hundreds of thousands of farm animals are killed in disasters. In 2021, it is estimated that two extreme weather events in British Columbia alone killed at least 1.3 million animals. For farmers and first responders, the experience of losing animals and witnessing them in distress can be traumatic. Moreover, the financial challenges associated with rebuilding after a disaster are numerous. Emergency preparedness in the agricultural sector requires careful planning and evacuation strategies to minimize and mitigate the effect of disasters on farm animals. In practice, however, this is often neglected. While non-governmental organizations such as the World Organisation for Animal Health recommend that animal housing facilities adopt emergency management programs, formal legal requirements to do so are uncommon. From both an animal welfare and a business perspective, more needs to be done so that livestock receive the necessary standard of care during emergencies. This presentation will explore some of the regulatory gaps that exempt farm buildings from practices that are required in other industries, as well as the potential role that non-governmental actors such as insurers can play to improve disaster preparedness in the agricultural sector.
