Disaster Recovery
During times of natural disaster and other crises, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach offers educational resources to reduce the personal impact, working in partnership with the local, state and federal agencies addressing the need. This page is updated with research-based educational resources for specific types of disaster (flooding, drought, storm, public health, etc.) when events occur.
Preparing for Disasters Before They Strike
- The All-Hazard booklet (from the Center for Food Security and Public Health) was developed as a resource for citizens of rural agricultural communities –individuals, farmers and producers, businesses. The booklet's four sections contain an overview of a particular hazard and several informational handouts in a check list format to help guide individuals in preparing for a particular hazard before it occurs, during the event, and recovering from the situation.
