1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Emergency and Disaster Preparedness for Farm Animals Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) American farms continue to experience devastating impacts from extreme weather events that have resulted in the death of millions of livestock and poultry in recent years. (2) During 2020 and 2021, the United States experienced a record-breaking hurricane season, record-breaking heat waves and the hottest month on record, a record-breaking wildfire season, and record-breaking droughts across the county. (3) Extreme weather events continue to become more frequent and severe, putting the country’s agriculture operations and livestock herds at increased risk. (4) To help producers recover from weather-related losses, numerous Federal disaster assistance programs have been established that provide significant funding to compensate producers each year, but do not require emergency planning. (5) Leading agricultural and animal health entities, including the Department of Agriculture, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and the World Organisation for Animal Health, as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, all recognize the importance of emergency planning and recommend the development of disaster preparedness plans on farms to help mitigate the impacts of extreme weather. (6) As we continue to adapt to a rapidly changing climate, emergency planning requirements are necessary to help ensure farmers are prepared, financial losses are reduced, and farm animals are protected. 3.
