Natural disasters can affect animals as much as they do their human counterparts. Washington State Department of Agriculture works with local, state, tribal, federal, non-governmental, and private sector partners to help plan for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters that affect animals and agriculture.

Severe Storms and Floods
Severe weather and flooding events have the potential to cause catastrophic loss of life and property as well as financial, crop, and environmental damage.
Wildfires
Wildfire can have a serious impact on Washington’s agricultural communities. There are a number of resources available to assist farmers and ranchers who have been affected.
Drought
WSDA does not have a drought relief fund, but does assist with providing resources and information for the agriculture community.
