For two days at the end of February, dairy professionals from across Canada stepped away from their daily routines to consider a less visible challenge than milk production: what happens when systems are disrupted by an HPAI outbreak.
Through ICS I-100 live webinars led by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and supported by Animal Health Canada’s Emergency Management Division, Dairy Farmers of Canada participants explored the framework that organizes people, decisions, and information during emergencies.
Participant questions and shared experiences quickly turned theory into practical discussion, helping the framework take shape in real-world dairy contexts.
By the end of the sessions, preparedness felt less like a document on a shelf and more like a shared understanding across provincial borders—reflecting the spirit of ProAction: readiness begins before a problem appears.
