Policy center, state to aid storm victims
The University of Nebraska's Public Policy Center and the Nebraska Health and Human Services System will provide crisis counseling services to Nebraskans experiencing disaster-related stress from severe spring storms.
The two departments re-ceived a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency's disaster aid program to assist victims of tornados, storms and flooding that hit Nebraska in late May and June. The grant provides $73,000 for the CARING Communities Program, which will offer crisis counseling, outreach and education. CARING Communities stands for Communities Are Resources Investing in Nebraska's Growth.
Twenty-seven counties in southeast and central Nebraska were declared disaster areas.
"This is a great example of a collaborative partnership between the university and state government that directly benefits the people of Nebraska," said George Hanigan, deputy director of HHSS' Behavioral Health Services.
