 I'm Becky Koch, the Ag Communication Director at North Dakota State University, and I was asked to attend a meeting after the 1993 Mississippi and Missouri floods. Little did I know that would lead to Eden, and it would really impact my career and my life, because in 1997 we had some catastrophic floods here in North Dakota, and I was able to email my colleagues in Missouri and Illinois and Iowa and say, what did you do? What do you recommend? What should we have folks do, because that was before Eden even had a website? Since then, I'm afraid North Dakota has become an example of flood education. We've had way too many here in our neck of the woods, but I'm glad that we're able to share our expertise with other Eden institutions across the country. Since I work in communications and education, I'm especially glad to work with my colleagues around the country on e-extension articles and Eden courses and videos and other resources that help people learn about disasters. It helps folks prepare for and recover from those kind of disasters. So I hope you'll utilize Eden. The network is truly a national example of collaboration. We shouldn't each reinvent the wheel, but instead work together to carry out the Eden mission of sharing educational resources that reduce the impact of natural and man-made disasters.
