About EDEN and this Website
The Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN) is a collaborative
multi-state effort by Extension Services across the country to improve the
delivery of services to citizens affected by disasters.
This site serves primarily Extension agents and educators by providing them
access to resources on disaster
mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery that will enhance their short-
and long-term programming efforts.
It includes a password-protected "Intranet" section,
where internal working documents are shared among the
delegates. Learn more about the
Cooperative Extension System.
