The Bath County Extension ag program began work with the Bath County Disaster and Emergency Services coordinator, the east region director and the national weather service office in Jackson Kentucky to develop a series of informational meetings, brochures and alert systems to inform vulnerable populations, such as the Amish community in Bath County of impending weather events.  This task force is the first in the nation, that we know of, that is working to develop ways to prevent loss of life and serious injury from devastating weather events in groups of people that are exceptionally hard to reach.  The task force has developed newsletter inserts and brochures for adult and youth that correspond to seasonal weather events and are currently working on ways to distribute this material.  Leaders in the Amish community have been reached by the committee to give input on how these materials can be used.  The task force is currently working on face to face programming to reach these vulnerable groups during extension trainings and events and during special events held in close proximity to the Amish communities.  The program is being developed in response to the unfortunate loss of life that occured in Bath County in 2020 due to a high water event.  The overarching goal is to prevent anymore unnecessary loss of life by helping members of our community understand the dangers certain weather events can poes and to eventually be able to provide an early warning system to allow ample time to take precautions.
