| Impact Report | Emergency Preparedness was one of the topics for the Extension Clubs Leader’s Training. This training was taught to 100 participants. Participants learned the importance of planning ahead for disasters. Sample foods and supplies from the Emergency Supply List were available to illustrate how easy it was to make a kit for their household. The participants gained knowledge on how to make a plan, how to make an emergency kit, and how to make an “In Case of Emergency Notebook.” Through the activities provided with this program, one participant stated that “this program really made her think about what she and her family would do if they were faced with an emergency such as a fire or snowstorm”. Handouts were passed out including Homeland Security’s “Preparing Makes Sense for Older Americans”, “Preparing Makes Sense for People with Disabilities and Special Needs,” Agro-guard Bags and the leader’s training booklet that was prepared by the home economist. At the Eastern New Mexico State Fair, the home economist facilitated the distribution of emergency preparedness brochures to local clientele. Over 2000 pieces of information was given out at this event. A display booth that focused on the subject “Emergency Preparedness” was also available for clientele to view. |
