The project focuses on deploying targeted outreach, research-based educational resources, and learner-centered trainings and workshops to support recovery and build resilience, while also providing professional development and supportive resources for Extension teams. The project aims to demonstrate Nebraska Extension's commitment as a responsive and valued local partner in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, helping all people co-create a better tomorrow.
