On January 14, Nebraska Governor Pillen declared a state of emergency in response to this winter storm. We've been monitoring needs and this response during briefings from the State Emergency Operations Center.
Attached to this email is the most recent press release (January 14) from Nebraska Emergency Management Agency and Nebraska Department of Agriculture's social media graphic sharing the 1-800-831-0550 number for producers to call if they need assistance. People and communities can also reach out to their local emergency managers. Please share this phone number and graphic with your networks and on social media. I also listed a few resources below that may be helpful.
On behalf of the Nebraska EDEN team, thanks for all you do.

ResponseNotes: Nebraska Extension's system for helping you "touch base" or "phone home" when there is a disaster or emergency. It is a quick capture form you can use to let the Nebraska EDEN team, administration and our USDA liaison and EDEN partners know whether you have been affected, to ask for help, to share news and stories about how you and your communities are recovering. Everyone in your office can use this form and send us an update.
