WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University Extension has assembled a comprehensive Web page with information and resources for Indiana flood victims.

The Disaster and Emergency Management Resources page is linked to the Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN) Web site. The page is located at http://www.extension.purdue.edu/eden/disastertopics/

floodstorms/index.html. The page also can be accessed from the Purdue Agriculture home page, http://www.agriculture.purdue.edu/

The Web page contains information on a wide array of flood recovery topics, Bruce Erickson, a Purdue Extension cropping systems management specialist said.

"In the past few days we have been assembling flood recovery information on Purdue Extension's Emergency Management page," Erickson said. "There are categories set up for homeowners, field crops, livestock, lawn and garden, and several other categories. Our goal is to make it as quick and easy as possible for people to find the information they need."

On the page visitors will find a regularly updated list of flood questions and answers, an online version of First Steps to Flood Recovery (Purdue Extension publication ACS-101), a list of county Extension and federal and state government agency contacts, and more than 80 other flood-related Extension publications, articles, maps and similar resources.

The page is updated daily, Steve Cain, Purdue Extension disaster communication specialist and Indiana EDEN Homeland Security Project director, said.

"This page is backed up by land-grant universities across the country and includes the best of the best information we have available," Cain said. "If Hoosiers can't find the information they need they can contact us and we'll do our best to locate it for them."
