Description
Within
the states and territories, the Cooperative Extension System has repeatedly
served as the trusted community organization that has helped to enable
families, communities, and businesses to successfully prepare for, respond to
and cope with disaster losses and critical incidents. Once a disaster has
occurred, the local extension outreach includes: 1) Communicating practical
science-based risk information, 2) Developing relevant educational experiences
and programs, 3) Working with individuals and communities to open new
communication channels, and 4) Mitigating losses and facilitating recovery.
NIFA intends to fund Special Needs projects to implement applied scientific
programs that serve public needs in preparation for, during and after local or
regional emergency situations.
