Media Alert: Florida agricultural sector asked to share adverse impacts of Hurricane Debby

What: University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Economic Impact Analysis Program (EIAP) survey for losses and damages associated with Hurricane Debby.

Where: Agricultural producers can complete the survey at go.ufl.edu/debbyagimpacts or report information to their local UF/IFAS Extension county office by calling or visiting in person.

About: UF/IFAS requests agricultural producers affected by Hurricane Debby, a Category 1 storm that came ashore near Steinhatchee on Aug. 5, to complete the UF/IFAS EIAP survey on agricultural losses and damages.

The survey is part of on-going UF/IFAS research tracking the effects of severe weather and other hazards on the state’s agricultural industry. Participants are asked to assess their production losses and asset damages due to Hurricane Debby. Responses will be used to improve estimations of the state’s collective agricultural losses from such events and inform decision-making related to disaster declaration, response and relief.

Survey participation should take between 10 and 20 minutes. Answers are confidential.

For additional information, visit the UF/IFAS EIAP frequently asked questions webpage.
