Training': Cal OES and the California Specialized Training Institute. FREE. Basic EOC Training Material. August 2023

 

Basic EOC Training Materials - Free!

One of the many challenges facing all jurisdictions during the COVID-19 response is the ongoing need to staff Emergency Operations Centers and other coordination centers with trained personnel. We are all facing long-term sustained operations with no outside relief anticipated.

Cal OES and the California Specialized Training Institute recognize that jurisdictions at every level have an immediate need to train new staff to build their EOC cadres. To help you meet that need, we have placed basic EOC training materials online. These materials can be downloaded and used by your own experienced staff to provide initial training for new EOC assignees.

We are also working to develop interactive online courses that individuals can access directly and complete at their convenience. We will announce those as soon as they are available.

Crop Insurance Doesn’t Account for the Risk Mitigation. August 29, 2023

 

 

Crop Insurance Doesn’t Account for the Risk Mitigation of Diversified Farming Systems. Data Driven Research Can Change That

 

Farming can be risky. Floods and heat waves wipe out crops, while climate change is increasing the variability and severity of farm-threatening weather hazards. As research shows that practices like cover cropping and rotating cash crops can reduce that risk, agriculture insurers and lenders currently have no way to value that risk mitigation. That’s where a team of agroecologists, economists, and statisticians steps in. This summer, the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research and the US Department of Agriculture awarded grants to BFI Co-Associate Faculty Director Tim Bowles and his colleagues to create an actuarial model to quantify that risk reduction to help bring that dollar value back to farmers.
