Spring Flood Outlook and Disaster Financial Assistance Program Information
As we approach the flood season, the risk of significant flooding is currently considered low to moderate. However, if you’re a veterinarian working in the livestock sector, it’s important to review the updated Veterinary Certificate of Probable Cause of Death form. This form has been amended in collaboration with the government to help veterinarians certify the cause of death for animals affected by natural disasters, which may qualify for financial relief through the Disaster Financial Assistance Program.
The document outlines the key responsibilities for producers, municipalities, and emergency organizations during an emergency. If you’re working with livestock clients, make sure your practice is equipped to assist them with the claims process by keeping the necessary information on hand.
In addition, the document includes helpful resources on flooding, evacuation, and mental health support, ensuring you have the tools and knowledge to navigate distressing situations.
