B.C. farmers asked to register animal locations ahead of fire season

  • Ahead of the approaching wildfire season, British Columbia’s Agriculture Ministry is advising farmers and ranchers to register their livestock locations to help safeguard animals during emergencies.
  • The mandatory Premises ID program links livestock to geographic areas to help emergency responders protect animals during evacuations or disease outbreaks.
  • More than 10,000 producers, including 100% of supply-managed and over 80% of cattle producers, have registered to improve communication and coordination for livestock welfare.
  • Minister Lana Popham emphasized that when ranchers and farmers enroll in the Premises ID program, it enables emergency personnel to quickly obtain reliable details, which is vital for effective support during urgent situations.
  • With over 40 active wildfires burning, mostly human-caused in northeastern B.C., Premises ID aims to enable faster emergency response and better animal protection during wildfire events.
