| Impact Report | County Emergency Agriculture Plan Annex The Southwest Border Food Safety and Defense Center, along with the Area One and Two County Emergency Management Offices conducted a tabletop exercise to test each county’s emergency agriculture plans that were previously prepared. The agent worked with the Chaves County Emergency Manager, the New Mexico Livestock Board, local law enforcement officials, county health office personnel, and others to simulate an agriculture emergency in the county to test the emergency agriculture plan. The agent served as a vital agriculture link to the response process as many of the other officials are not familiar with agricultural activities. The tabletop exercise showed the need for additional details of the plan, but in the event of a major agricultural disaster, the plan will positively impact Chaves County’s response. |
