In 2022, Nebraska experienced tornadoes, dust storms, wildfires, severe winds, hail, blizzards and more. As we prepare for whatever comes our way in 2023, take time to review these two webinars:
• Emergency Preparedness for Nebraska Extension with Mark Robertson, UNL Campus Emergency Management Director
• Disaster 101 with Chris Schroeder, Nebraska Emergency Management Agency
You can access these webinars and more on the Disaster Education website at https://disaster.unl.edu. You’ll need to be logged in to the website using your UNL credentials. After logging in, go to the navigation bar and hover over “About Us”, you should see the option for “Employee Resources” – click to access the webinars!
Another excellent resource is the Reach Out for Wellness Toolkit. This online toolkit is designed to support the mental health needs of Extension professionals following natural disasters. Participation is free, self-paced and will provide you with practical and individualized strategies to help you cope with the challenges associated with disaster recovery.
