On April 30, 2013, S-CAP hosted its first webinar titled Superstorm Sandy Animal and Agriculture Response: Lessons Learned for Improved Planning, moderated by Scott Cotton. Stakeholders from federal, tribal, state, and local entities attended the 1-hour meeting to listen to experiences from pre-, during, and post-disaster work. Speakers included professionals from Cooperative Extension (Ann Swinker and Keith Tidball), state departments of agriculture (Dave Chico and Roy McCallister), and APHIS (Anne McCann). The Virtual Forum webpage provides a detailed outcomes report of the webinar and a link to the archived webinar.
