Cooperative Extension Service Offers Help in Protecting Home

For North Carolinians with questions about how to protect their homes and their businesses from natural disasters and how to cope should disaster strike, North Carolina Cooperative Extension has answers.

The organization’s Web site, http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/disaster, includes extensive information related to disaster preparation and recovery.

Developed by extension specialists at North Carolina State University, the Web site includes information on topics such as making sure water and food is safe to consume, helping children cope with disasters, filing insurance claims, making temporary structural repairs and managing storm–related pest problems.

Fact sheets and other publications are also available from Cooperative Extension Moore County Center. Call 947-3188 or visit the center at 707 Pinehurst Avenue in Carthage. The following agents will be glad to answer any questions you may have: Bert Coffer, county extension director; Randy Wood, livestock; Eric Honeycutt, horticulture; Karen Wicker, family and consumer; Agnes Evans, foods and nutrition; and Linda Gore, youth. Interested persons can also visit the center’s Web site at http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/moore.
