You see what is happening to the people of East Africa as they lose their animals?

We're stewards over animals and should do everything we can to care for them. 

farm animals, any animals, need to be treated with the same level of concern as us humans. We will ultimately be suffering more from the losses of these animals to disasters rather than taking a small hit. fewer farm animals = less produce = more expensive produce. the chicken flu was a great example. if you don't save the animals and leave them in dangerous conditions they can get sick and spread it around.

Raise prices by requiring more farmer costs.

We should protect ALL animals from Natual disasters!

This is a stupid bill. . . VOTE NO.  Written by people that have never put their hands on a cow, pig or chicken.  Farmers are already protecting their investments because THEY ARE THEIR INVESTMENTS!!!

Please work to save animals 

The more farm animals die, the less food there is avilable, which drives up pricing even more! 

yes coorporations and farmers should have disaster plans in place to protect the farm animals and they need to make sure that these steps r implmented when a disaster hits and that includes conglomerate farms as well

How about saving humans from wanton gouging by corporate crooks - oil companies, insurance companies, practically every conglomerate out there squeezing the last drop of blood from hardworking people - and laughing their way to the bank!

SHAME ON CONGRESS for doing NOTHING to reign in these crooks

Yes, but start with the agricultural industrial complex. Make sure that large feed lots and chicken farms owned by conglomerates are following this before monitoring smaller farms.

Big Ag gets away with far too much at the expense of health and the environment, so any bills like these need to be sure they are being regulated fully.

Of course! All livestock should be protected because it's a great source of protein and nutrition.  

I also think we need to protect these animals from Bill Gates! As he is strictly plant based food, and is promoting his own agenda over the well-being of humanity.

YES!!!, but only if the farmer can prove that s/he took approp measures to avoid the loss.  My real question is isn't there livestock ins. that farmers can obt. that would compensate for these kind of losses?  If there is then the taxpayer should not be on the hook for these losses.

Of course, but it doesn't seem like we can save or create an emergency plan for ourselves.

However, this is a topic I'm uninformed on. 

FEMA & private insurance should require anyone living in an area prone to extreme weather to establish disaster preparedness plans to be eligible for certain disaster assistance programs, and to carry insurance especially if they've previously been compensated. We shouldn't continue to pay people over & over again for living places with extreme weather events requiring multiple payouts. Instead of compensating people multiple times they should be bought out so they can relocate somewhere less risky.

In 2022 there were 18 weather/climate events costing $1B/each.

If legislators want to start with animals as it's less controversial fine but it should be applied to all climate disasters & compensation both public & private.

"Each year across the United States, communities large and small, inland and coastal, face devastation from flooding. These disasters wipe out family savings, destroy lives and livelihoods, set high-risk communities back economically, are a regular occurrence in many areas, and have cost the nation over $1 trillion since 2000."

"One strategy to address repeated flooding is a “buyout,” in which residents sell their flood-prone properties to the state or local government and relocate to areas with lower flood risk."

"In 2022, there were 18 weather/climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each to affect the United States. These events included 1 drought event, 1 flooding event, 11 severe storm events, 3 tropical cyclone events, 1 wildfire event, and 1 winter storm event. Overall, these events resulted in the deaths of 474 people and had significant economic effects on the areas impacted. The 1980–2022 annual average is 7.9 events (CPI-adjusted); the annual average for the most recent 5 years (2018–2022) is 17.8 events (CPI-adjusted)."

BILL: Should We Protect Farm Animals from Natural Disasters?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

The details are certainly worth carefully discussing and then implementing. FEMA & other applicable federal agencies should make available and then require affordable disaster insurance for commercial livestock farms and ranches. I tend to think all commercial farms should be covered.

I hope setting up such insurance program(s) does not have to go through Congress.

They are living beings we should protect them.

If you owned ten steers and if they died before you get them to market you get nothing. Most farmers would shelter them in a barn if available but to move the heard two at a time some 300 miles north of a hurricane two at a time and rent another

farmers land for a week of so might be a little much. 

Is the state and federal governments going to be responsible for every animal fish and insect on state and federal lands? How many wild animals fish and insects die with every hurricane or drought or flooding event?
