Safety First

One Montana is taking measures to ensure all of our employees and stakeholders stay safe and healthy and that our programs are compliant with current CDC protocols and policies.

We have designed specific protocols for 1MT’s program design, structure and mission that will be in place for any in-person programming. Following the CDC guidance for responding to COVID-19, we base our program protocols on the following mitigation strategies:

  • Face masks are required for all indoor activities.

  • Facemasks are required for any outdoor activities where social distancing is not possible or not observed.

  • Remote training whenever possible or appropriate.

  • Conduct only essential activities in public space.

  • Limit the number of people gathering in one space to 10 or less.

  • Prioritize physical distancing of 6 ft. whenever possible .

  • Ensure staff, instructors and participants members perform personal protective measures (handwashing, masks, behaviors.

  • Consistently disinfecting of all work spaces, tables, chairs and equipment.

  • Implement pre-arrival and exit assessments of exposure and risk (taking temperatures on arrival).

  • Daily health and symptom check.

  • Assess projects for alignment with COVID-19 safety in mind.

  • Plan for possible outbreaks and provide COVID-19 emergency evacuation procedures for every hitch.

What we are doing: 1MT Responds to Covid-19

One Montana works to bridge the urban rural divide and build resiliency and vibrancy in our communities through relationships.  With the event of Covid-19 we have added to our regular program work to support landowners with a variety of needs including:

  • Connecting them to markets

  • Facilitating donations to foodbanks

  • Activating volunteers to help with weed control, fence building, planting cottonwoods and a host of other projects. 

  • Helping to assess and develop solutions to local food supply challenges, particularly related to beef processing.
