Purdue University\u2019s Agricultural Safety and Health Program has been monitoring farm-related fatalities in Indiana<\/a><\/strong> for nearly 60 years. The earliest identified summary of cases, published in 1966, examined 76 fatalities reported during 1963. Purdue\u2019s fatality database, though acknowledged as not being comprehensive of all farm-related deaths, provides a unique historical perspective to explore trends that have occurred over several decades.<\/p>\n

“Contingency Planning for Your Family and Farm Operation”<\/p>\n

The Code Red<\/strong><\/a> Document was developed as a result of a brainstorming session at the 2011 Midwest Women in Ag Conference in Jeffersonville Indiana. Participants identified a need for a farm or small business to have one central location to collect critical business information required for day to day operations. In the event of a crisis in the operation, the business would be able to continue with minimal disruptions in a timely fashion while utilizing the Code Red Document.\u00a0 Click here for more information, or to download the latest version of the Code Red program.<\/p>\nInstructional Videos:

PREPclips are short informational videos about emergency and rural disaster preparation topics.\u00a0 We encourage Extension educators, teachers, and volunteers to use PREPclips for teaching programs or sharing on social media.\u00a0 We simply ask that you credit INPREPared.org<\/a>\u00a0as a source!\u00a0 The videos have been developed and reviewed by Extension and emergency professionals, and are excellent for use in combination with our\u00a0PREPnotes<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in preparing simple, effective training programs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tDeveloping an Emergency Plan for Your Farm Operation\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"farm\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

Indiana PREPared encourages all farm families to prepare an emergency plan<\/a><\/strong> for their farm operation.\u00a0 This plan can be shared with local fire departments, EMS, and law enforcement so that everyone is better prepared in the event of an emergency such as an injury, fire, or natural disaster.<\/p>\n

Our Farm Emergency Plan page includes a downloadable template and resources any farm family can use to create a basic emergency plan.\u00a0 Also, resources, including a powerpoint presentation, are included for educators for presentations to farm groups, ag students, or PARP programs.<\/p>\n

Health officials throughout the world continue to battle an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus (termed COVID-19) that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and which has spread throughout the world.<\/p>\n

INPREPared.org is following the situation closely, and will provide updates and relevant links on our Coronavirus 2019 Resource Site<\/a><\/strong> as the outbreak progresses.\u00a0 The site contains relevant information and resources from local, state, and federal sources, as well as information specific to Purdue University students, staff, and faculty.<\/p>\n

No one should have to go it alone during times of crisis, including farm and ranch families. It is a myth to believe that these families are so independent and tough that they can survive crisis on their own.<\/p>\n

The following are examples of organizations<\/strong><\/a> that have a history of reaching out to farm and ranch families during both natural and human caused disasters. The list is in no way exhaustive and will be added to as additional organizations are identified. You are encouraged to visit the organization\u2019s website, or call them for more information.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSafe Grain Storage and Handling\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"youth\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

The goal of the Against the Grain<\/b><\/a> curriculum is to provide basic awareness level safety and health training needed by youth and beginning workers interested in employment in the commercial grain industry or who are already working on family operated farms with grain storage operations. The focus of the training is on \u201cbasic\u201d and \u201corientation.\u201d The hope is that the training will give participants a head start to being a safe and productive worker.<\/p>\n

While earthquakes are somewhat rare in Indiana, they can and do happen.<\/p>\n

Residents of west-central Indiana were surprised by a 3.8 magnitude earthquake the afternoon of June 17, 2021!\u00a0 The quake was felt throughout a wide area of west-central Indiana and east central Illinois.\u00a0 Little or no damage has been reported, but the tremor was a reminder that earthquakes can and do happen in Indiana.<\/p>\n

We have assembled some resources below to provide more information about earthquake preparation and response<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
