USDA Hurricane Preparation and Recovery
When hurricanes strike, the aftermath can feel overwhelming. Crops, livestock, and even livelihoods can be at risk. But you're not alone—the USDA has programs tailored to help you recover and rebuild.
USDA offers financial and technical support through programs like the Emergency Livestock Assistance and Livestock Indemnity Program, helping to cover losses and expenses. They also provide low-interest loans, crop protection insurance, and restoration help for farms, trees, and forests damaged by storms.
