Reducing the impact of emergencies and disasters in Connecticut through research-based outreach education.
Extreme Weather
Connecticut communities are saturated during continuing rain and other extreme weather events, including hurricanes. UConn Extension has resources to support agricultural producers, consumers, and residents.
Preparedness Education for Vulnerable Populations
People experiencing homelessness or potentially facing housing insecurity are among those whom first responders are especially concerned about when severe weather occurs. UConn Extension developed resources to help vulnerable populations prepare for and shelter from the storm.
