UW website offers wildfire protection information

The University of Wyoming Extension Disaster Education Network site contains emergency contacts and information to help homeowners with wildfires and other natural and human-caused disasters. UW extension educator Ron Cunningham says the network is a national organization of extension people all over the United States who work on all emergencies. He says it has information for all kinds of emergencies: wildfires, floods, blizzards. For example, the Living with Fire link takes readers to a website of the same name offering information about creating defensible space, embers, evacuations, living with fire and what to do after a fire. The information can be reached at: http://uwyo.edu/ces . Click on Extension Educational Program Areas on the left-hand side, then Ag and Natural Resources, and then the link under Disasters.
