[Adapted from "CONNEX", e-newsletter of USDA CTDE/CSREES (Cooperative
State Research, Education and Extension Service)]Beth Swedeen, University of Wisconsin-Extension (UWEX) News and Information Specialist, has announced that UWEX has released its Disaster Handbook. "As a result of the Midwestern floods of 1993," Swedeen notes, "UW-Extension created a new Disaster Handbook for Extension Agents, which is available in a notebook of fact sheets with accompanying disk in WordPerfect, an Adobe Acrobat version available on the internet through the World Wide Web, in text-only format on the Wisconsin gopher."
The handbook includes information on preparing for disaster, clean-up and repair, and rebuilding. Chapters include flood, fire, tornadoes, winter storms, drought and community/family issues, such as finances, community zoning, and stress management.
To order a paper copy and computer disk, send a check for $35 payable to UW-Extension to Beth Swedeen, 202 Hiram Smith Hall, 1545 Observatory Drive, Madison, WI 53706; (608) 265-2529; Internet: swedeen@wisplan. uwex.edu. Additional information is available from the same address. If you wish to download the handbook or a specific chapter from the World Wide Web, the URL is:
