Agriculture / Weights and Measures

The County of San Luis Obispo Department of Agriculture/Weights and Measures collaborates with local, state and federal emergency responders to plan for response to natural disasters and emergencies that could impact agricultural operations.  Staff with expertise in hazardous materials such as pesticides, radiological ingestion pathway exposure and general knowledge about local agricultural processes and operations are trained to respond as requested by the County Office of Emergency Services or others.  

The County of San Luis Obispo Department of Agriculture/Weights and Measures is a source of information that farmers, ranchers, food and nursery stock producers,distributors and others involved in the growing, transport, processing and sale of agricultural commodities should know in the event of an emergency at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant as outlined in the Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Information for Agriculture Booklet.
