Major Program: Emergency Disaster Preparedness
Being prepared for life’s disasters, can help get us thru many storms. Learning to be prepared as a youth impacts you for a lifetime. The Harlan County Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent along with Harlan County Emergency Management created the Harlan County Youth Preparedness Program. Three students from Harlan County High School participated in and graduated from the after-school program to learn more about disaster preparedness and how to react during those events. &nbs
