Additional goals for this program include offering the workshop to all extension districts in Texas by 1997 and, with the assistance of 4-H programs, developing a youth component in Texas. In addition, TAEX will work to strengthen its relationship with the Puerto Rican Extension Service, so that this information is readily available in Spanish. For the long term, the coalition hopes to firmly establish these educational programs in each of the 12 TAEX districts, emphasizing both youth programs and rural outreach. We have the capacity to conduct evaluations and conduct emergency assistance programs. We also develop programs of prevention and preparedness, in which we develop informational and educational materials.
All information concerning reports, contacts, programs are welcome.
