Description
#Extension Helps, with goals of addressing the critical needs of Kentucky residents impacted by
historically severe flooding, is a proposed new Standard Extension application.
#Extension Helps, will include three priority components which can be initiated within the
recommended ninety-day timeline and completed within one year. #Extension Helps components
will provide necessary post-flood programming direction, address the immediate needs of
agriculture producers and the mental health needs of youth and adults in the region.
1) Comprehensive Needs Assessment - Conducted by the Community and Economic
Development Initiative of Kentucky, this assessment will provide priority programming
guidance to Kentucky Extension, post-flood and enhance the dedicated personnel resources that
Extension is committing to the region over the next 2-3 years.
2) Preventative Health and Hoop Barn Demonstration and Education - Cattle consuming forages
contaminated by flood sediments are at increased risk of soil-borne pathogens such as tetanus
and botulism. Widespread damage to handling facilities makes vaccination challenging to
producers. Portable livestock handling facilities and hoop barns can be utilized and demonstrated
to address these issues.
3) Mental Health First Aid - Provide the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) end-user training to
approximately 160 individuals/8 classes within the Eastern KY Flood region, in a virtual and
face-to-face format.
