Every farm or small business often relies on one key person who knows the ins and outs of finances, leases, equipment, and more. If that person were suddenly unavailable, it could leave the operation in chaos.
Code Red is a contingency planning tool designed to help farm families and business owners organize critical information in one place. Created in Excel, it includes customizable worksheets for both Farm/Business and Personal details.
- Farm/Business Worksheets cover ownership, finances, important documents, contacts, inventory, and login credentials.
- Personal Worksheets include family member info, social media logins, legal documents, medical details, and final arrangements.
By completing Code Red, families can ensure continuity during emergencies and begin important succession planning conversations.
