It’s the middle of summer and the weather is great! But, we all must be aware that hurricane season is upon us. Fortunately, the UConn Extension works with colleagues from across the United States as part of the national Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN). The goals of the network are to help residents, communities, businesses, and municipalities in the state to prepare for, mitigate, and recover from extreme weather events. Our guest on the podcast this week is Stacey Stearns, who is a communications specialist for the Extension and works with EDEN. Stacey gives us some prep tips for what we should all do to prepare for hurricanes, whether you own a home, a business, or a farm. The podcasters also remember storms of the past and how to prepare for all kinds of snow and rain. Also back in 2005, do you know what Slate picked as the U.S. city where the odds of perishing in a natural disaster are the smallest?
