Description:
The Disaster Preparedness and Program Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help New England farmers prepare for participation in disaster relief programs. It explains how disaster declarations enable access to state and/or federal assistance programs following events like floods, droughts, or storms. The guide emphasizes the importance of reporting and documenting losses, including photos, acreage data, and financial records, to support both disaster declarations and future aid eligibility. The guide also provides practical tips for recordkeeping, insurance awareness, and grant writing, along with a directory of state, regional, and national relief programs available to New England farmers, active as of Fall 2025.
