Outcomes and Resources Produced
A majority of the participants indicated that they were satisfied with the conference and would recommend it to others. In the sharing session, they recommended that we create a database of resources and funding opportunities for Extension professionals. In response, SU JAGriculture created a Google Form to encourage participants to sign up to share the resources and grants they are using for emergency preparedness. Nearly thirty people signed up and a registry was created. There were other outcomes, as well. As a professional development activity for our Extension peers, we presented a webinar for the Extension Foundation on April 6, 2020, about our programming and support to aid communities in Louisiana in the post-disaster recovery phase, as second responders: Answering the Call: The Role of Extension After an Emergency. The video is shown below. This work fed into our NTAE project.
This 1-hour video – Answering the Call: The Role of Extension After an Emergency – explores the role
of the Extension professional as a second responder during emergencies, and more.
