Get Started by Creating a SAFE MApp Account

The benefit of using this app for Secure Food Supply (SFS) maps is the ability to create, edit, print, and save the map in a secure location.

By creating an account, you agree to the SAFE MApp Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. A strong password will be needed to protect your account.

The SAFE MApp app can be used on any desktop or laptop computer, and tablets with larger screens. The app was not designed for creating maps on small tablets or mobile phones.

A completed map can be saved on your computer as a PDF and then printed out on paper or added to a PDF version of a plan. PDF versions of map app files cannot be uploaded to the app. The app creates and saves a type of digital file (.json) that can be downloaded and uploaded to the app. This option allows for sharing the file with other SAFE MApp account holders who might assist with map making.

What is a Secure Food Supply Plan Map?

FAQ About Premises IDs and Secure Food Supply Maps

Do I need a premises ID to make a map?

A PIN is not required for creating a map with this app, but it will be needed when submitting the map with your SFS plan. You are encouraged to store your PIN in the app.

What address is used for assigning a PIN?

PINs need to match the 911 address and physical location of your animals.

Can I use my state Location Identifier number (LID) instead of a PIN?

For Secure Food Supply Plan maps, you will need a federally issued PIN, not a state “LID.”

What if I don't have a PIN or can't remember it?

Secure Food Supply Plans

Secure Food Supply Plans (SFS) can enhance the readiness of livestock and poultry producers in the U.S., to quickly put enhanced biosecurity practices in effect during a foot-and-mouth (FMD) disease outbreak. Producers who have an SFS plan and proof of healthy animals will be able to request movement permits from their State Animal Health Officials, for continuity of business during an outbreak.

About SAFE MApp

Collaborators were instrumental in developing this software application for livestock and poultry producers. The goal of the project is to assist producers with creating and maintaining premises maps for their Secure Food Supply Plans, to help prevent disruption of their businesses in case of a foreign animal disease outbreak.

SAFE MApp owners are seeking development partners for the launch of the application as a startup. Click this link to read more about the technology.
