The 2005 hurricane season is finally over! A total of 23 hurricanes
hit our shores and inlands with Katrina and Rita bringing the
greatest destruction.
The following stories are just a few examples of how the Alabama
Cooperative Extension System (Extension) aided and continues
to help families and individuals to recover from these deadly
storms. Clearly, these are examples of Extension doing what it
does best---improving the quality of life for people. These stories
also speak to the resiliency of the human spirit to recover time
and time again.
It will take years for these regions to gain some sense of
normalcy, but it will only take us a few weeks or even a few
days to prepare our homes and our families from unexpected natural
and manmade disasters.
Are you prepared?
