Natural Disaster Response
Like every sector of the economy, natural disasters like hurricanes, tornados, and wildfires can cause tremendous damage to agricultural infrastructure and result in the death of thousands of animals. Failure to effectively manage animal carcasses following these disasters can result in significant economic, environmental, and public health impacts.
