The Iowa Pork Producers Association has developed an emergency action planner for producers to use in their swine facilities.

The binder includes detailed steps on how producers and their employees should handle emergencies involving manure spills, weather, fire, power outages, biosecurity, euthanasia and mass animal mortality. There also is space in the planner for site maps, building layout and general emergency information.

Producers can obtain copies of the planner at no charge. To get your binder or for more information, contact Tyler Bettin, IPPA producer education director, at (515) 225-7675 or tbettin@iowapork.org.
