Either one will grant you access to the Extension Office by pressing and we will buzz you in. If you have any questions, please feel free to give the office a call at 812-926-1189.
Be Prepared For Bad Weather
The Indiana PREPared team has compiled a variety of educational resources to help prepare for and deal with the aftermath of whatever Mother Nature throws at us.
Purdue University Extension - IN-PREPared has links to current conditions, the site includes winter weather-related PREPnotes, video PREPclips, social media graphics, and archived news articles from www.inprepared.org.
Several of these resources discuss safety during winter power outages or extended extreme cold snaps. Typically, more people die from fires and/or carbon monoxide poisoning due to improper use of alternative heating sources or generators than actual cold exposure.
To help be ready for whatever a storm might bring, attached are "Go-Bag" checklists for your home and car. We strongly encourage everyone to have a battery-powered NOAA weather radio with plenty of extra batteries (and keep it turned on!), and to charge cellphones and tablets fully before the storm hits!
Below are flyers that will help you be better prepared for a weather emergency.
