A flood plan is vital for protecting your home, business and livestock

Why do you need a Flood Plan?

• You are not guaranteed financial or farm assistance when floods occur.
• You need to know what to do and when to do it to reduce damage and losses.
• Every flood is different. You need to plan for all risks and possible impacts.
• If you are prepared, you will recover much quicker and be able to get back to business.
• The damage and losses caused by floods can be very high. It costs a lot of money and takes a long time to clean up your property, repair fences and feed livestock.
• It is cheaper to plan ahead and be prepared than pay the costs of repairs or lose income and production time.
• Can you afford not to have a flood plan?

Having a flood plan can help prevent damage and losses on your farm:

• Dead livestock
• Destroyed equipment
• Debris and waste
• Loss of access to property
• Erosion
• Blocked drains
• Damaged fences
