If you live within ten miles of the Palisades Power Plant, you could be evacuated from the area in an emergency. If you must leave your animals, be sure to leave enough water and feed to sustain them until they can be cared for again. You may be permitted, at the direction of the state, to reenter the evacuated area temporarily to tend to the needs of your farm. You will receive specific instructions on routes to use, safety precautions, and decontamination procedures. Your Cooperative Extension Service agent will be able to provide animal health and feeding guidance.
