Governor Kim Reynolds authorizes a Disaster Proclamation for Cherokee County following a confirmed case of bird flu in a commercial turkey flock. The decision comes in response to the detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), which poses a significant threat to both the agricultural industry and public health.
The Disaster Proclamation activates state resources and permits a coordinated response to contain the outbreak. State and federal agencies are working together to implement quarantine measures, conduct thorough testing, and ensure the swift culling of affected birds to prevent the spread. . .
