 Nebraska Strong: Flood Recovery ProjectMany areas of Nebraska are recovering from storms and floods. The heroic phase of disaster response (sandbagging and people pulling together) is often followed by a period of disillusionment (disappointment with aid and coping with clean up). Reconstruction takes time - and can be stressful. The PPC is working to provide crisis counseling assistance, create public service announcements (print and radio), and educational materials (in English and Spanish). Please visit http://www.disastermh.nebraska.edu/ for available online resources. If you need confidential assistance please call the Nebraska Rural Response HOTLINE 1-800-464-0258. |
