Extension Disaster Education Network
The New York Extension Disaster Education Network (NY EDEN) is a collaborative network based at Cornell University which is dedicated to educating New York residents about emergency preparedness, prevention and recovery. The NY EDEN website which provides access to fact sheets on a full range of disaster-related topics is currently under re-construction and will return to full capacity soon.
