FORHP Special Announcement - Safety After Floods

March 25, 2019   Winter Farm Flood Health Threats: Risk Factors During Recovery Winter floods can heighten the risk of health threats such as mold, tetanus bacteria, contaminated well water, hypothermia and high stress. This is especially true on farms and ranches where inherent farm hazards such as machinery and equipment, livestock, and agriculture chemicals are displaced and co-mingle, putting all emergency response personnel, farm workers and family members in danger. This AgriSafe Network created this presentation to highlight basic precautions for presenting disease and injury during and after flooding.  The recorded version of this March 21st webinar is free and available to all. The Announcements from the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy are distributed weekly. To subscribe, sign up for Rural Health Updates at HRSA.gov.  Connect with HRSA To learn more about our agency, visit www.HRSA.gov  Sign up for HRSA eNews Follow Us:      Subscriber Services: Manage Preferences / Unsubscribe  |  Help  Health Resources and Services Administration 5600 Fishers Lane Rockville, MD 20857 This email was sent to myhcistech.healthnews360@blogger.com using GovDelivery Communications Cloud on behalf of: HRSA · 5600 Fishers Lane · Rockville, MD 20857
