Survey on climate information - - We want your opinionThrough a partnership with Kansas State University, the PPC is developing educational programming for Central Great Plains rural residents. As part of this project, we have been meeting with rural residents to find out what climate information they need and want, and for what purposes and in what forms. To give more people a chance to voice their opinions, this team created an online survey. Fill it out and let us know what climate information you want and need, and how we can make that information useful and accessible. Please encourage those in your networks to do the same. For questions, please contact Dr. Lisa PytlikZillig. |
 Nebraska Strong: Flood Recovery ProjectMany areas of Nebraska are recovering from storms and floods. The heroic phase of disaster response (sandbagging and people pulling together) is often followed by a period of disillusionment (disappointment with aid and coping with clean up). Reconstruction takes time - and can be stressful. The PPC is working to provide crisis counseling assistance, create public service announcements (print and radio), and educational materials (in English and Spanish). Please visit http://www.disastermh.nebraska.edu/ for available online resources. If you need confidential assistance please call the Nebraska Rural Response HOTLINE 1-800-464-0258. |
