OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this plan is to outline how youth service corps can assist in non-emergency flood recovery and emergency flood relief in the nine states designated as disaster areas in 1993. NEEDS: Recovery continues in flood-affected states and rains have already begun this spring in some of these states. USDA officials are predicting floods of varying magnitude again in 1994. STRUCTURE: The Soil Conservation Service and the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service will serve as lead agencies. Working in conjunction with the SCS state, area district coordinators, the interagency management team, designated SCS and ASCS personnel would identify areas that could use the services of youth corps, identify meaningful and needed activities, ensure adequate training, supervision, and evaluation, and assist in housing and logistics. ACTIVITIES: A diverse group of participants will work in teams of ten with one crew leader per team. Persons displaced or otherwise affected by the flood will be given preference for staff and corps member positions. Participants might be placed individually, especially if they come from outside the area, in return for helping a farmer with needed work. With regard to emergency flood relief, participants could form mobile strike teams, 1) helping people to evacuate in a timely manner; 2) providing additional manpower in overworked, understaffed disaster relief offices; 3) disseminating all types of information including sources for psychological help; 4) staffing emergency shelters; 5) providing daycare while people apply for emergency relief; and 6) assisting in the issuance of emergency food stamps. As for ongoing flood recovery work, participants could 1) provide auxiliary assistance in removing sand deposits from valley floors; 2) revegetate areas too small for aerial reseeding; 3) provide auxiliary assistance in repairing levees; 4) work with USDA personnel to provide outreach to farmers and other rural residents about how to apply for and utilize special USDA disaster relief programs.

Below are the state allocations: State Total Flood Relief Allocation 4-H Youth Service Allocation Illinois $240,00 $24,000 Iowa $600,000 $60,00 Kansas $300,000 $30,000 Minnesota $300,000 $30,000 Missouri $550,000 $55,000 Nebraska $240,000 $24,000 North Dakota $240,000 $24,000 South Dakota $240,000 $24,000 Wisconsin $190,000 $19,000 Each of the nine state extension directors will be asked to produce a written plan to use this money for flood relief projects utilizing youth volunteers. (2) Some ideas on how states can use the money: 1) Purchase materials for 4-H volunteers to use in flood relief, such as gloves, boots, dry-wall, training materials, seeds, shovels, etc. 2) Hire additional Extension staff to serve as 4-H volunteer coordinators. 3) Hire additional Extension staff to work full-time with existing youth service programs run by states, localities, Indian tribes, or non-profit agencies. 4) Pay for a VISTA participant to coordinate 4-H youth or work with other Extension Programs. (Each VISTA participant would cost us $12,800 for a year of work). 5) Fund coordinators to manage volunteers at each state Extension flood relief center. The White House is very interested in making sure that our 4-H projects work closely with youth service corps involved in flood relief. Yet it is NOT our intention to mandate a specific youth service approach from Washington. Rather, it is our intention to foster an entrepreneurial spirit that will allow the 4-H leaders in the flood states to work individually and collectively to develop varied approaches they believe will help solve the unique problems of their states. I will work directly with the Extension Service to implement this program. We will issue press releases announcing our later this week. The Secretary will be able to visit one or more of these projects on his next trip to the Midwest. CC. Ron Blackley *** ACTIVITY REPORT *** Branelond TRANSMISSION OK 2nd bele.

ILLINOIS ACTION Timothy Krieger, director, got one telephone call from a college concerning work study funds and youth service/flood-relief work. He referred the caller to Campus Compact and several other organizations doing flood relief. VISTA volunteers in the state hope to be performing flood-relief activities if grants to the Corporation for National and Community Service and ACTION are approved. The agency is working with the Red Cross, Campus Compact, and the State Office of Volunteers and Senior Activities to develop a flood-relief program in anticipation of spring flooding. VISTA volunteers will help communities identify their needs in terms of flood relief. IOWA CONSERVATION CORPS Joanne Callison, interim director of the Iowa Conservation Corps, received "four or five" calls from institutions of higher education. As the Conservation Corps is not working in the field at this time, she referred the calls to JTPA offices around the state to identify job sites. JTPA received $15 million in flood relief funds. She told those who contacted her that the Corps would be operational next spring if they wanted to call back. The Corps has submitted a grant application to the Corporation of National and Community Service for funds to work in parks, primarily doing trail repair, and possibly to sandbag. Predictions are for more flooding next spring. EXTENSION SERVICE Wendy Brock, director at Iowa State University in Ames, has had no calls. She referred them to county officials who sponsor youth teams. Extension staff is currently training in the "Circle of Support" materials which have a parental component and deal with youth depression. ACTION Joel Weinstein, director, received calls from four higher education institutions. He gave them the names and numbers of VISTA volunteers in the field doing flood-relief work. Twenty-three volunteers are working in flood relief throughout the state. GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF VOLUNTEERISM Barbara Finch said that she had been contacted by three schools. (2) KANSAS KANSAS OFFICE FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE Pat Kells, director of the Kansas Office for Community Service, received one phone call from a college not in close proximity to the flood-affected area. She gave the college information on service learning and the types of projects that would help in flood relief. EXTENSION SERVICE Glenda Henley, Kansas State University Extension/4-H, received one call. Helped caller identify areas near the college affected by the flood. Referred to USDA Flood Recovery Center. The Extension Service has used a portion of its flood recover money to fund 4-H clubs doing flood relief. Diverse projects include providing child care for flood-relief workers and flood-affected families, cleaning up a public library, and assisting in food drives. MISSOURI YOUTH SERVICE AND CONSERVATION CORPS Doug Sutton, job training program specialist, received three calls from schools in the St. Louis vicinity. He referred the callers to JTPA which received $15 million for flood relief. Currently, about 50 youth are involved in flood cleanup through the Conservation Corps but they are winding down as funding ends in December. He is awaiting word momentarily on a request to the Corporation to continue youth service/flood relief work. YOUTH BUILD ST. LOUIS Joyce Sonn, director, has received no calls. Currently, Youth Build has 11 youth rehabilitating homes of flood victims in the St. Louis area. She said she will apply for state funds for further programs. The state is waiting for funds from the Corporation, she said. MINNESOTA CONSERVATION CORPS Larry Fonnest, director of Minnesota Conservation Corps, got two calls from outlying colleges. He referred them to the state disaster management office. He is waiting to hear about a grant request to the Corporation. If funded, at least 30 youth would be involved in flood relief. They would do a variety of activities, including assisting in a project with technical people who will retrofit furnaces damaged by the flood, develop a plan of action for flood prevention in the future after reviewing completing an historical study of flooding in the southwest portion of the state, and develop a flood disaster manual in several languages for Hispanics and Hmong peoples living in an area of the state susceptible to flooding. (3) ACTION Robert Jackson, director, has received no telephone calls from colleges or universities. Three VISTA volunteers are working in southwest portion of the state in linking flood-affected clients with programs that can help with their needs. NORTH DAKOTA ACTION John Pohlman, director of ACTION in North and South Dakota, said he had received no calls from colleges or universities. No VISTA volunteers are working in flood relief in North or South Dakota. EXTENSION SERVICE Geraldine Bosch, assistant director extension, has received one call. Extension is planning youth programs to help deal with stress. NEBRASKA ACTION Anne Johnson, director, received no telephone calls. SOUTH DAKOTA EXTENSION SERVICE Bob Davis, Interim 4-H Program Leader at South Dakota State University, has received no calls. As for Extension flood-relief funds, they are in process of identifying someone who will work with teens, who in turn, will present an assembly about stress relief to 3rd through 6th graders. WISCONSIN CONSERVATION CORPS B. J. Panke, interim director, has not received one call. She has 325 people in teams across the state but they are not doing flood relief work. She is awaiting word from the Corporation about a grant that would fund about six more teams to do flood relief work, park repair and repair of state historical sites. Also, the Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois corps will form a "super corps", to do work along the Mississippi corridor if Corporation approves the grant. EXTENSION SERVICE Dr. David Running, Extension, 4-H Program Leader, has had no calls. The Extension Service is using its flood funds to finance mini- grants. Counties are in the process of submitting proposals and some of the projects will have youth components. Extension is also working with a program called, "Friends Helping Friends," a peer counseling program. mell 15 th 3:00 Next meeting 15th 10 - 11:30 NEBRASKA Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Food Safety and Inspection Service John W.

The U.S. Department of Education will be responsible for working with post-secondary institutions to recruit and sign-up students who will be eligible to receive these funds. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will then be responsible for helping select state- based agencies to help actually manage the service projects. Such state-based agencies will have the following duties: 1. Obtain and maintain an updated list of the names and addresses of students in each state who will be receiving work-study funds to perform flood relief work. Obtain and maintain an updated database of particular skills held by each student and the times each student is available to work. Such information about students should be obtained from the U.S. Department of Education, universities, colleges, proprietary schools, and state education departments. 2. Obtain lists of priority service projects from FEMA, state and local government officials, the Cooperative Extension Service, conservation corps, 4-H youth groups, constituency groups, and other interested parties. Make a final determination of the priority of each project and how realistic it will be for work-study students to carry out that project. 3. Match up each student with service projects suitable for the specific skills of that student. 4. Negotiate contracts with post-secondary institutions to manage work-study students whom the institutions will pay. 5. Research, write, and sign cooperative agreements with each government agency, non- profit organization, or family being served. 6. When necessary, coordinate arrangements with government, non-profit, or private entities to transport students from their post-secondary institutions to service sites. 2 7. Create a plan for placing work-study students at each Disaster Field Office (DFO) if the office determines there is a need for volunteer help. Students can help staff the DFOs by answering phones, greeting citizens, performing data-entry, handling paperwork, and carrying out other tasks. 8. Arrange cooperative agreements with the Commission on National and Community Service, conservation corps, VISTA, the Cooperative Extension Service, and other relevant agencies to fund, recruit, and train crew leaders for each group of ten work-study students. 9. Create a structure to supervise the work of each crew leader. 10. Ensure that all the work-study students have the proper training to complete the work assigned to them. 11. Ensure that all the work-study students have the equipment and supplies to complete the work assigned to them. 12. If possible, plan for the work study students to work with existing local participants in conservation corps, VISTA, 4-H youth service projects, or other volunteer efforts. 13. Engage in oversight to ensure that the work the students perform is useful to the surrounding community, that the students are performing the work to which they were assigned, and that the safety of the students is protected.

The program will utilize existing curricula developed and tested at the three Illinois federally funded Youth-at-Risk (YAR) project sites. Additional curriculum will be developed by a group of Extension Specialists and Educators. A major portion of the curriculum dealing with stress, self-esteem, and communication skills will be featured in the programs. The Youth Helper Training Program will utilize existing materials including "Tackling Tough Stuff", "Circle of Support", "Youth In Action", and "Positive Peer Power". Sponsored activities will include opportunities for youth to become involved in flood damage clean-up and repair and other flood recovery projects. Sessions will be conducted by teams of Youth Volunteers. Teams will be recruited from area schools, as well as the collegiate ranks. Each team will be screened and instructed on proper use of the curricula and supporting activities. The teams will be supervised by a Volunteer Coordinator at each site. The project will last for the duration of the 1993/94 school year. IOWA Objectives Youth Flood-related problems that involve youth include damage to nature trails at the lowa 4-H Education and Natural Resources Center, increased stress and youth depression, and how to involve youth as partners in flood recovery efforts. Without trail improvement at the Natural Resources Center, access to many educational sites and activities will be prohibited because of camper safety. School teachers, youth group leaders and others who work with youth from families affected by the flood need assistance in dealing with increased stress and youth depression. In addition, the flood disaster has created a living laboratory in which youth and adults can work together in meeting needs of people in the community. Specific objectives are to: 9. Involve youth in restoring flood damage to environmental education sites at the Natural Resources Center. 10. Reduce stress and depression for youth affected by the flood disaster. 11. Increase the involvement of youth in flood recovery efforts of communities. Procedures Youth Three strategies will be used to accomplish project objectives targeted to youth: a youth service corps, in-service education for school personnel and others to help understand and reduce stress, and efforts to involve youth as partners in flood recovery groups. All three strategies involve collaboration with other agencies and groups. A youth service corps will be conducted during June 6 to June 30, 1994, in collaboration with the lowa Department of Economic Development's lowa Conservation Corps. Twelve (12) youth ages 14 to 19 will be identified by 4-H leaders and school guidance counselors and selected on an application basis. Youth will be paid for work on trails and other repair projects at the lowa 4-H Education and Natural Resources Center. Two crew leaders will be employed to supervise the youth. Youth will receive training throughout the work experience, including: life skills, safe and wise use of equipment and materials in reconstruction projects, understanding ecological principles, lowa woodland prairie and riparian environments, interrelationships between living things and the responsibility for the integrity of many of those relationships, basic first aid, CPR, and an appreciation of work relationships with peers and supervisors. To address increased stress and youth depression, Extension youth field specialists will be trained by the Minnesota Extension staff with an already prepared curriculum. Extension specialists will provide training on understanding and coping with youth depression to school teachers, 4-H Leaders, school officials, service organizations, and others who interact with youth. Peer support groups will be developed in at least one community in each of the Extension Flood Recovery Assistance Centers. It is important for youth and adults to understand the community in which they live, the impact the community has on their lives, and their impact on the community. The flood has changed the dynamic functioning of many communities. The community is the living laboratory in which youth and adults together learn to identify, analyze, and work to meet the needs of people in their community. The floods have damaged many areas within communities that are important to youth--schools, libraries, community centers, parks, fairgrounds, and others. Youth working with adults can identify and conduct projects that will repair, restore or redesign many of the affected areas. ISU Extension youth field specialists serving on Assistance Teams of the Centers will assist communities in identifying and developing local flood recovery projects that will involve youth as partners with adults. Project proposals will be reviewed by a central committee, with at least one project per Center selected. Work to carry out projects will be done by youth and adult volunteers. Financial assistance will be provided as needed by the approved project. Examples of financial assistance for local projects include: wages/benefits and/or travel for program assistants to coordinate efforts; funds for purchase of services (i.e., design developed by landscape architect); educational materials and supplies; additional travel by Extension specialists for specific assistance. KANSAS Procedures 6) Program assistants will coordinate youth volunteers and donated labor and equipment in the restoration efforts. Assistance will be sought in the flood area through three Service Corps: Topeka Youth Project, Kickapoo Youth Project on the Kickapoo Indian Reservation, and Harvest America in Kansas City, KS. MINNESOTA GOALS AND STRATEGIES D. Children and adults increase their ability to make it through difficult times by making health promoting choices. Help adults and children impacted by family dissolution or separation following natural disaster or trauma make wise choices. E. Citizens of all ages are energized and ready to assume community leadership. Support and encourage community efforts to increase the current leadership capacity, share leadership roles and transfer leadership to younger people in a timely manner. MISSOURI Proposed Education Programs 7. Programs designed to address the family and youth stress accompanying damage or loss of property, income and relationships. This effort will integrate local mental health professionals and local educators to provide long term, interagency programming that combines therapeutic and educational programs. The latter is the mission of University Extension. Programs will include child and parent education, strategies addressed to children in school, child care systems and families, and information for employers. Referrals will be made to local mental health professionals for both flood victims and for professionals working intensely with flood victims. 8. Community service programming will mobilize youth and adult volunteers (including senior citizens), support existing volunteer systems involved in efforts to assist families and youth experiencing stress. This will include coordination with and support of existing volunteer programs. Adult and youth representatives will be included in planning and implementing this component. NEBRASKA Youth Objective 2 includes two components: service to community and a stress camp for youth. Service to community, service learning and "Community Pride" are methods currently utilized in 4-H Youth Development programming. We propose to strengthen programs in those areas where flood related stress was prevalent. Youth and volunteer leaders will plan and prepare a mini-grant proposal to clean up and repair local and community damage. A review committee will evaluate the proposals and allocate the resources on a selection basis. When possible we will encourage matching dollars on a local or community basis. A stress camp for youth whose parents were in the flood and other weather related conditions will be conducted. Youth will be invited to participate in a weekend outdoor education program at the Eastern Nebraska 4-H Center. We estimate an audience of 150 youth will attend. The programming will consist of three major program blocks as follows: * Adventure Course - to emphasize self-esteem and build team work skills * Stress Connection - exercises to provide youth with alternative beha coping, strategies and communications * Skills for dealing with feeling of hopelessness * Outdoor education which will present information in environmental programming. We will discuss weather cycles and how this impacts resources and personal stewardships. The stress camp will be a first step in developing a personal support syst dealing with life crisis situations. NORTH DAKOTA Objectives 4. Provide opportunities for youth volunteers to work as a team to assis community projects, to help other youth or adults who may need a fri provide other types of assistance to help people in their community C the aftereffects of the flooding. Procedures Youth Volunteer Component Programs will be developed to provide volunteer service opportunities for you throughout each flood recovery assistance center service area. This prograr component will focus on successful completion of objectives four and five. Ir youth will be encouraged to partner with adults in the local communities to Or and conduct work projects to help restore community facilities or private prop damaged by flooding. They will also plan and conduct other programs where can volunteer to work in teams or individually to assist other youth and adults communities who have been adversely affected by the flooding. The youth volunteer programs will be designed to meet specific needs of indi communities. Qualifies personnel who have experience in working with youth volunteer programs will be employed on a part-time temporary basis by the N Extension Service in each flood recovery assistance center to plan and impler youth volunteer assistance programs. These individuals will work with local S officials, churches and other local agencies and organizations to plan and car the youth volunteer assistance programs needed in each community. SOUTH DAKOTA OBJECTIVE 7: A project director will be secured to: a) develop the stated program, b) contact local schools about conducting assemblies, c) recruit and train teens to present the assemblies, and d) assess impacts of the program. Referral information on "Project Recovery" will be left with the youth, classroom teachers and school personnel. Classroom teachers will be surveyed to determine the 3-6 grade youths increased awareness in stress management and coping techniques. Classroom teachers and school personnel will be queried as to number of participating youth who request referral information on "Project Recovery", which is the title for the FEMA sponsored programs providing counseling for impacted farm and agribusiness families. WISCONSIN Procedures Youth opportunities in partnership with adults and peers in community service programs will provide experience in responding to disasters, assessing damage, and assisting those affected. The following involve adults and peers. Agent and specialist teams will provide training, coordination and support for community-based youth and community service programs developed at the local level. Local volunteers will be trained in community service projects identified in their communities. Specialists and agents will provide leadership in coordinating and training additional volunteers, local school personnel and other community groups to develop local peer support groups and programs for youth to assist them in dealing with family and personal stress and anxiety. United States Extension Office of the Washington, DC Department of Service Administrator 20250-0900 Agriculture 09 SEP 1993 Dr. Donald L. Uchtmann Director Cooperative Extension Service University of Illinois 122 Mumford Hall 1301 West Gregory Drive Urbana, IL 61801 Dear Don: This announcement and enclosure provide guidance for the development and submission of proposals for the "Extension Flood Recovery Assistance Centers" in the midwest States affected by widespread flooding in recent months. In legislation just completed, Congress included a $3.5 million supplemental appropriation for Extension to be used for emergency expenses resulting from the Midwest floods and other natural disasters of 1993. Subsequent interpretation indicates that $2.9 million is to be used for Extension programs in the Midwest flood areas and the balance for drought areas in the Southeast. The $3.5 million is to remain available through June 30, 1994, and requires no matching. Distribution of the appropriation among Midwest States has been determined using information developed for the supplemental request, indications from the August 6 conference call among Extension administrators and program leaders, and the distribution of counties designated as eligible for individual and public assistance. Based on this information, the amount allocated for Illinois is $240,000. We have chosen this method of allocation believing that you can best determine the number and location of centers in your State. The request for supplemental funding for Extension referenced post-crisis teams to be located in recovery assistance centers. Criteria have been developed based on functions outlined in the request with the addition of attention to community facilities and services and the requirement that at least 10 percent of the funds are to be used for youth programs that provide community services and other recovery assistance (see enclosure). In your proposal, determine the number and locations of centers that can best meet the needs of constituents in your State. We recognize that some centers will serve multiple States and will be jointly staffed. Please submit one proposal for all centers in your State for which you have lead responsibility. Proposals including multi-state centers should identify the resources provided by other contributing States and allow for transfer of funds. Funds may be used for FTE's, travel, support materials, training, and communications to carry out program functions. Out-of-pocket costs for participating Extension staff from non- The Extension Service is an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Federal Partner in the Cooperative Extension System. Dr. Donald L. Uchtmann 2 affected States should be included in the budget for the center where they will be working. The format of project proposals should follow the guidelines of the Applications Submission Package.

Sincerely, Myrr MYRON D. JOHNSRUD Administrator Enclosure CC: State Program Leaders Administrative Council Joel Berg Draft September 27, 1993 DUTIES OF EACH STATE YOUTH SERVICE AGENCY IN MANAGING SERVICE COMPONENT OF WORK-STUDY FUNDS USED FOR FLOOD RELIEF The U.S. Department of Education will soon be making available millions of dollars of work-study funds to students in the Midwest to engage in flood relief. The U.S. Department of Education will be responsible for working with post-secondary institutions to recruit and sign-up students who will be eligible to receive these funds. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will then be responsible for helping select state- based agencies to help actually manage the service projects. Such state-based agencies will have the following duties: 1. Obtain and maintain an updated list of the names and addresses of students in each state who will be receiving work-study funds to perform flood relief work. Obtain and maintain an updated database of particular skills held by each student and the times each student is available to work. Such information about students should be obtained from the U.S. Department of Education, universities, colleges, proprietary schools, and state education departments. 2. Obtain lists of priority service projects from FEMA, state and local government officials, the Cooperative Extension Service, conservation corps, 4-H youth groups, constituency groups, and other interested parties. Make a final determination of the priority of each project and how realistic it will be for work-study students to carry out that project. 3. Match up each student with service projects suitable for the specific skills of that student. 4. Negotiate contracts with post-secondary institutions to manage work-study students whom the institutions will pay. 5. Research, write, and sign cooperative agreements with each government agency, non- profit organization, or family being served. 6. Coordinate arrangements with the U.S. Department of Transportation or other government, non-profit, or private entities to transport students from their post-secondary institutions to service sites. 2 7. Create a plan for placing work-study students at each Disaster Field Office (DFO) if the office determines there is a need for volunteer help. Students can help staff the DFOs by answering phones, greeting citizens, performing data-entry, handling paperwork, and carrying out other tasks. 8. Arrange cooperative agreements with the Commission on National and Community Service, conservation corps, VISTA, the Cooperative Extension Service, and other relevant agencies to fund, recruit, and train crew leaders for each group of ten work-study students. 9. Create a structure to supervise the work of each crew leader. 10. Ensure that all the work-study students have the proper training to complete the work assigned to them. students 11. Ensure that all the work-study have the equipment and supplies to complete the work assigned to them. 12. Guarantee that the work study students are either working closely or side-by-side with any existing local participants in conservation corps, VISTA, 4-H youth service projects, or other volunteer efforts. 13. Engage in constant oversight to ensure that the work the students perform is useful to the surrounding community, that the students are performing the work to which they were assigned, and that the safety of the students is protected. 14. Provide each participating post-secondary institution with certification that each student performing service meets the requirements of the U.S. Department of Education work-study program. 15. After the program is completed, evaluate the program's impact on both the participants and the surrounding community. TO: GERRY WESTWOOD, MISSOURI 4-H FROM: JOEL BERG, USDA NATIONAL SERVICE COORDINATOR DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 1993 RE: DECISION ON 4-H FUNDS FOR FLOOD RELIEF Thank you for your helpful advice on how youth service projects may be incorporated into the entire work of the Extension Service. USDA Chief of Staff Ron Blackley, Extension Service Associate Administrator Mitchell Geasler, and I worked out an agreement wherein a minimum of 10% of the funds sent to the Extension Service for Midwest flood relief will be used specifically for youth service projects. Below are the individual state allocations: State Total Flood Relief Allocation 4-H Youth Service Allocation Illinois $240,000 $24,000 Iowa $600,000 $60,000 Kansas $300,000 $30,000 Minnesota $300,000 $30,000 Nebraska $240,000 $24,000 North Dakota $240,000 $24,000 South Dakota $240,000 $24,000 Wisconsin $190,000 $19,000 (2) Each of the nine state Cooperative Extension directors will be asked to produce a written plan to use this money for flood relief projects utilizing youth volunteers. Some ideas on how states can use the money: 1) Hire additional Extension staff to serve as 4-H volunteer coordinators. 2) Hire additional Extension staff to work full-time with existing youth service programs run by states, localities, Indian tribes, or non-profit agencies. 3) Pay for a VISTA participant to coordinate 4-H youth or work with other Extension programs. (Each VISTA participant would cost us $12,800 for one year of work). 4) Purchase materials for 4-H volunteers to use in flood relief, such as gloves, boots, dry-wall, seeds, shovels, etc. 5) Use as overhead for Washington coordination of 4-H flood relief efforts and for production of printed materials for use in all of the nine flood-affected states. 6) Fund coordinators to manage volunteers at each state Extension flood relief center. The White House is very interested in making sure that our 4-H projects work very closely with youth service corps involved in flood relief. Yet it is NOT our intent to mandate a specific youth service approach from Washington. Rather, it is our intention to foster an entrepreneurial spirit that will allow the 4-H leaders in the flooded states to work individually and collectively to develop varied approaches they believe will help solve the unique problems of their states. I look forward to working with you and the Washington office of the Extension Service on implementing this critical program. Thank you once again for your leadership in promoting youth service. 8/23 Mayont E. she well check August 17, 1993 DECISION MEMORANDUM FOR CHIEF OF STAFF TO: Ron Blackley Chief of Staff 8/18/93 THROUGH: R. D. Plowman Acting Assistant Secretary Science and Education FROM: Administrator Extension Myron D. Johnsrud Service SUBJECT: Funding for Midwest Flood States ISSUE: The Extension Service has $3.5 million supplemental FY 93 funding to provide intensive educational support for the Midwest flood States, and the Southeast drought States. The drought States are suffering from a short term disaster without the devastation associated with destroyed facilities and support systems. RECOMMENDATION: We propose to distribute the funds to nine flood impacted States (North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, lowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Kansas) based upon number of counties designated for individual disaster assistance and upon the intensity of the flood impact (number of counties receiving public assistance designation). An estimated $2.9 million would go to the Midwest flood states. The main drought-impacted States are: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Delaware. We propose an allocation of up to $350,000 for those four States. Other States requesting disaster classification and potential recipients include: Maryland, Virginia, and Alabama. We propose to hold the remaining $110,000 to deal with priority issues from these States. Ron Blackley 2. In order to make funds available as soón as possible, we need to send letters to the impacted States requesting their input. An expedited decision will allow us to get the funds distributed by early September. DECISION BY THE CHIEF OF STAFF Approve Date Disapprove Discuss with me bcc: Dick Rankin A. J. Dye ES:Ag:AJDye:mgb:8/17/93:720-6283 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE OF AGRICULTURE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20250 July 23, 1993 DECISION MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY FROM: Joel Berg, Deputy Director, Office of Public Affairs THROUGH: Ali Webb, Director of Public Affairs an Subject: FLOOD RELIEF AND NATIONAL SERVICE I recommend naming a temporary task force of USDA employees in flood-affected states to coordinate the interaction of USDA and other Cabinet Agencies with youth service corps involved in flood relief. As you may know, the President has set-aside $2 million in the disaster relief package for youth service corps involved in flood clean-up. lowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota all currently have existing youth conservation corps that will likely to receive some of this funding. I am also working with the Extension Service to create our own program in Missouri, which does not currently have an existing state-wide corp. The corps that are funded will undoubtedly be engaged in many projects that will require direct interactions with USDA agencies; projects could include working with FNS to deliver emergency food or helping SCS on watershed restoration projects. Given your high degree of commitment to both flood relief and national service, I believe it makes sense for us to ensure that all USDA agencies involved in flood relief coordinate as fully as possible with youth corps. Since the President has named USDA the lead agency in flood relief, it would make sense for our Department to also coordinate similar interaction of other agencies, such as the Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA, and the Department of Interior. I recommend asking each USDA agency involved in flood relief to temporarily appoint one agency employee in each state to work part-time on a task force coordinating USDA dealings with youth service corps. I would further recommend asking SCS to name one employee in each of those states who would work full-time supervising the state task force. I would also suggest that I personally spend at least two weeks in the region supervising a larger task force comprised of all the state task force leaders. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER The task force should start its work immediately, since the Commission on National Service has already committed at least $200,000 in flood-relief funds to the Iowa Conservation Corps. I would recommend that the task force end its work on September 1; by that time, both our short-term and long-term plans for flood relief should well be in place. Since all participants in the task force would be current USDA employees working in existing USDA offices, my proposal would have virtually no budgetary impact. My own travel expenses would be paid through funds currently in the Office of Public Liaison travel budget. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Secretary approve creation of a task force to coordinate the interaction between USDA agencies and youth service corps involved in flood relief in the Midwest. Approve n Date 7/27/93 Disapprove Discuss with me *** Project Proposal Title: Promoting Community Service in support of flood relief efforts in Missouri Submitted By: Missouri 4-H Youth Development Program 210 Whitten Hall - UMC Columbia, MO (314) 882-4012 Project Category: Disaster Relief, Youth Education, Community Development Amount Requested: (Phase I @ $661,440.00) Duration: 10 Months (August 15,. 1993 - June 15, 1994) Date Submitted: Jul 20, 1993 Contact Person: G.R. Westwood 1. EXISTING SITUATION: Communities in more than one half of Missouri counties, have been inundated with flood waters from the Missouri, Mississippi and many local rivers. To date, fifty three (53) counties have officially been declared Federal Disaster Areas. These floods have caused great physical loss to homes, public infrastructure, agricultural crops and businesses. In addition to the physical loss, the floods have also taken there toll psychologically. The mental stress of being displaced from ones home, the loss of jobs and the destabilizing effects associated with relocation will continue to impact on peoples lives long after the flood waters recede. People in Missouri, are currently in a state of crisis. Over the next six to nine months, outside resources will be necessary to help people living in local communities to recover from flood devastation. 2. NEEDS AND RATIONALE: Direct financial aide and other forms of material assistance, while critically important, will not be adequate to address the crisis totally. A great deal of manpower will also be needed over a sustained period of time. The volunteer response to the immediate crisis has been exceptional. However, as the waters recede, and as the needs becomes less obvious, it will become more and more difficult to rely on a spontaneous outpouring of volunteer labor to address lingering problems. A system capable of mobilizing a large number of recovery workers on a state wide basis needs to be put in place. Older youth can be recruited to provide the human resource capital needed for much of the recovery effort in local 4-H\Youth Development Programs communities. Youth have both the energy and time to get the job done. The immidiate challenge involves how to recruit, organize, train and dispatch this labor pool in ways that will have the greatest impact in the shortest amount of time possible. Missouri Extension's 4-H/Youth Development Program has the proven capacity to help local people cope with problems steaming from natural disaster. Through it's long standing statewide network of field staff, Extension can respond quickly by helping to recruit, organize and train young people to serve as members of flood recovery teams. Local extension personnel have a good understanding of needs in their assigned counties. Extension 4-H Specialists also have excellent contacts with local leaders, school officials and related agency representatives. Extension is ideally suited to mobilize large numbers of young people to assist with follow-up flood recovery efforts. 3. OBJECTIVES: To organize, train and dispatch teams of older youth to help with immediate flood recovery efforts during the next few months. To establish a longer term, and more sustainable, system of volunteer assistance involeing young people providing assistance during the next twelve months. 4. PROJECT DESIGN: This project will involve a two complementary initiatives. During September through December, efforts will be directed towards responding to the immediate clean-up needs in affected communities throughout rural Missouri. As these immediate needs are satisfied, A longer, more sustainable, initiative will be launched to establish an on-going support system of youth volunteers to help with community flood reconstruction during the spring and summer of 1994. 4.1. Phase I: The Short Term Response (August- October, 1993) Phase I activities will be designed to provide immediate post-flood manpower and material assistance in response to a crises situation. Initially, fifty (26) flood recovery teams composed of older youth will be organized across the State. This will be done on a county by county basis in those areas effected by the flood. Each team will be consist of twelve (12) older youth plus two adult coordinators. 4.1.1. Recruitment -- Team members will be recruited by local 4-H Specialists, working cooperatively with local community leaders. Out of school young people who have lost jobs as a result of the flood will be given first priority for positions whenever possible. 4.1.2. Project Management -- Local Extension personnel will assume responsibility for overall project management. They will also provide logistical support and conduct orientation training for the flood recovery teams members. Proposal: Youth Community Service Project Page 2 of 7 4-H\Youth Development Programs 4.1.3. Training -- All recruited team members will be required to participate in a standardized one day orientation workshop prior to beginning their assignments. A packaged curriculum and suggested course outline will be prepared by extension subject matter specialists at the state level. Subject matter areas to be addressed during the orientation training will include topics related to: 1) the roles and responsibilities of members of the flood recovery teams, 2) information about compensation & working hours, along with other operational matters, 3) flood safety, 4) sanitation and 5) Safty regarding the handling of flood damaged materials. A corralary purpose of the training will be to creating a sense of group identity amongst team members. Adult team coordinators will receive one additional day of training in an effort to help them become better prepared to work with youth in a developmental manner. Here, the focus will be on helping young people develop effective teamwork and functional leadership skills. 4.1.4. Financial Management -- Project funds will be administered by the existing county extension councils as special project accounts. Normal Extension financial management and accounting practices will be followed to insure proper financial accountability. 4.1.5. Coordination -- Extension 4-H personnel will work with other related agency representatives to coordinate the process of securing needed equipment and supplies required by the flood recovery teams in carrying out their assigned tasks. (i.e. vehicles, cleaning supplies, tools, etc.) 4.1.6. Needs assessment, Project Identification, Activity Planning and On- going Assessment -- Through Extension's existing network of local leaders (homemaker groups, 4-H clubs, other community groups, etc.) local flood recovery needs and priorities will be identified. Teams will be dispatched to do specific recovery projects in affected communities as requested by local officials and community leaders. Planning and carrying out day to day activities will be responsibility of the two adult team coordinators One of the adult members of the flood recovery team will act as an Advance Activity Coordinator. This person will be responsible for Making initial site visits to areas effected by the flood and to ascertain the type of recovery activities that should be undertaken by the youth. This person will also work with local leaders to make advance arrangements, set activity schedules and. determine what equipment, supplies and technical expertise will be needed to carry out the particular recovery activities. In addition, this person's role will be to coordinate with other agencies representatives to make needed logistic arrangements for actually carrying out site specific flood recovery projects. Proposal: Youth Community Service Project Page 3 of 7 4-H\Youth Development Programs The second adult member on the team will serve as the On-site Supervisor while the flood recovery activities are being carried out in a particuler community. This person's role will involve assigning specific tasks to team members,. monitoring task accomplishment and addressing any problems or difficulties that arise while completing the project. The On-site Supervisor will also serve as a referral agent and facilitator, helping local residents get additional resources, needed services and information. 4.1.7. On-going project assessment -- The Extension 4-H Specialist will meet weekly with the adult members of the flood recovery teams to assess overall progress and make needed adjustments. The On-site supervisors will be asked to maintain a daily work logs, documenting tasks accomplished and time spent. These logs will serve as the basis for balancing work assignments and help in determining any adjustments that need to be made. A monthly evaluation of local projects will be conducted with the coordinators and members of the local clean-up management committee to determine needs and future direction of the project. 4.1.8. Activity Selection Guidelines -- The main purpose of phase I of the project is to provide a concentrated pool of manpower to accomplish clearly defined tasks related to flood clean-up. Obviously, the range and scope of activities to be undertaken by the flood recovery teams will differ widely from one locality to the next. However, two basic guidelines will be followed in selecting projects to carried out by these teams. First, projects that involve a great deal of labor intensive activity over a short period of time will be given priority. Generally, the kind of projects to be undertaken by the flood recovery teams during Phase I of the project will involve blocks of approximently 120 hours of team effort over a one of two day period. Second, the personal safety of team members will always be a prime consideration. Projects involving the removal of contaminants or contact with physical hazards and other safety related constrains will not be undertaken. 4.1.9. Examples Of Project Activities -- In addition to general community clean-up activities stemming directly from the flood, other kinds of related project activities to be undertaken might include: 4.1.9.1. Working With Senior Citizens -- Team members may be partnered with local senior citizens whose homes were affected by the flood waters. Here, youths would provide assistance in house and yard clean-up, while also being supportive to the older person as they begin the stressful job of putting their home back together. Youth who might be involved in efforts directed specifically towards senior citizens would be provided Proposal: Youth Community Service Project Page + of 7 4-H\Youth Development Programs additional more specialized training designed to help them be more understanding and sensitivity to the unique needs of an elderly person. 4.1.9.2. Helping To Create Safe, Nurturing Environments For Younger School-Age Children -- When the waters recede and families begin to either clean-up their homes, or make decisions to start over somewhere else, school-age children (youth ages 5-12) will be greatly affected. The stress caused by the unknown, decisions made quickly and multiple changes will create confusion in families. Some members of the flood recovery teams may become involved in using existing curriculum, to develop temporary programs that will help provide school-age children whose homes were disrubted by the flood to experience a supportive, nurturing environment after school. A program where school-age youngsters can come to find friends who understand the confusion at home. A place where they can have fun and get away from the clean-up for awhile. 4.1.9.3. Removal Of Flood Restraining Materials -- Many Missourians volunteered their time to strengthen levies and protect buildings with sand bags and other structures. When the waters recede, these structures will have served their purpose and will need to be removed to eliminate a public nuisance. Teams of youths may be asked to assist with the disposal and clean up of the thousands of sand bags and other flood retaining structures, disposing of them properly. Where this is the case team members will receive additional training in appropriate disposal techniques. 4.1.10. Benefits that will be derived from the initial efforts -- Communities and elderly individuals will gain direct benefits from the youthful manpower available to assist with flood clean-up activities. Youth who have experienced a loss, as a result of this disaster, will have an avenue to vent frustrations and find a supportive structure in the team. The model provides constructive alternative activities for older youth along with an opportunity for income (stipend) which can be used to replace lost or damaged personal items. Youth will develop an increased sense of community ownership and pride in helping to restore their community. team members will gain valuable job skills, work place ethics and organizational skills along with a sense of achievement as various tasks are accomplished. Adult team coordinators will receive compensation for their services. This will provide an alternative means of income for those displaced from work or spouses needing to generate additional income. 4.2. Phase II: Post Flood Reconstruction (January - June 1994) Proposal: Youth Community Service Project Page 5 of 7 4-H\Youth Development Programs 4.2.1. Overview -- The second phase of the project will be launched in January of 1994. The purpose will be twofold. First, to provide the manpower resources needed for longer term, follow-up reconstruction activities scheduled to commence during the spring and summer of 1994, and second, to lay the foundation for establishing an on-going, volunteer, youth service corp. throughout rural Missouri. 4.2.2. Recruitment and Training of Core Team Members -- A group of older youth, adult coordinators and Extension 4-H Specialists from designated counties, where long term follow-up reconstruction efforts are required will be identified (i.e. 3 people from each of 25 different counties, totaling 75 people) Those selected will be invited to participate in a state level, week long, leadership workshop. to be held in January of 1994. The workshop will be conducted, in one of the designated disaster counties. This county will serve as a "training laboratory". Within the laboratory environment, participants will be provided an opportunity for hands-on- learning about how to organize and carry out community reconstruction projects back home in their respective counties. The aim is for the participants to create mirror images of what they have done during the week long workshop back in their home counties. Participants will also be provided with advanced leadership training designed to equip them with the skills needed to work effectively with adolescents and to organize young people into functional teams. 4.2.3. Project Implementation -- Those participating in the January workshop will serve as a core team in their respective counties. During the months of February and March, each of the "core teams" will engage in recruitment, organizing and planning activities for flood reconstruction efforts to commence in April, May and June of 1994. The youth and volunteer adult members of the core team will be paid a monthly stipend for the time and effort expended during this planning and organizing period. High school aged youth will be recruited from existing youth groups, schools and other organizations to join in the reconstruction efforts. Youth involvement will be on a volunteer basis. Those recruited will receive the same type of orientation training that was provided to the older, out of school youth involved in phase I of the project. Phase II activities will involve moving a large number of youth (25-50 high school aged youth) into a single community or rural area. The intent is to make available a large amount of labor during a single weekend to undertake and complete a pre defined project in that community. The approach to be used is similar to an old fashioned "barn raising". The local community being serviced, will be asked to contribute as much as possible in the way of materials and equipment. needed to complete the project. The community will also be asked to provide housing and meals for the volunteers. Proposal: Youth Community Service Project Page 6 of 7 4-H\Youth Development Programs The reconstruction teams will move from community to community each weekend completing additional projects as needed. These weekend "work- a-thons" will continue until school adjourns for the summer. 4.2.4. Project Management, Coordination and Planning -- The same staff roles and project management procedures used during Phase I will be continued during Phase II of the project. 4.2.5. Project Selection Guidelines -- Projects under Phase II will be significantly different than those carried out during Phase I. Phase II projects will be designed to have long term and lasting impact on the communities affected by the flood. The intent will be to use community self help projects as vehicles for establishing cadres of young people who are willing and able to perform community service on a sustained basis. The hope is that it will be possible to use community reconstruction as a tool for instilling values in young people that will encourage life long participation in community service efforts. 4.2.6. Anticipated Benefits -- Local community infrastructure will be improved through self help initiative and team work. An organizational framework will be created for expanding the Youth Corp. program into rural Missouri as a volunteer initiative. More than 1,200 high school aged youth will gain community service experience.

ILLINOIS ACTION Timothy Krieger, director, got one telephone call from a college concerning work study funds and youth service/flood-relief work. He referred the caller to Campus Compact and several other organizations doing flood relief. VISTA volunteers in the state hope to be performing flood-relief activities if grants to the Corporation for National and Community Service and ACTION are approved. The agency is working with the Red Cross, Campus Compact, and the State Office of Volunteers and Senior Activities to develop a flood-relief program in anticipation of spring flooding. VISTA volunteers will help communities identify their needs in terms of flood relief. IOWA CONSERVATION CORPS Joanne Callison, interim director of the Iowa Conservation Corps, received "four or five" calls from institutions of higher education. As the Conservation Corps is not working in the field at this time, she referred the calls to JTPA offices around the state to identify job sites. JTPA received $15 million in flood relief funds. She told those who contacted her that the Corps would be operational next spring if they wanted to call back. The Corps has submitted a grant application to the Corporation of National and Community Service for funds to work in parks, primarily doing trail repair, and possibly to sandbag. Predictions are for more flooding next spring. EXTENSION SERVICE Wendy Brock, director at Iowa State University in Ames, has had no calls. She referred them to county officials who sponsor youth teams. Extension staff is currently training in the "Circle of Support" materials which have a parental component and deal with youth depression. ACTION Joel Weinstein, director, received calls from four higher education institutions. He gave them the names and numbers of VISTA volunteers in the field doing flood-relief work. Twenty-three volunteers are working in flood relief throughout the state. GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF VOLUNTEERISM Barbara Finch said that she had been contacted by three schools. (2) KANSAS KANSAS OFFICE FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE Pat Kells, director of the Kansas Office for Community Service, received one phone call from a college not in close proximity to the flood-affected area. She gave the college information on service learning and the types of projects that would help in flood relief. EXTENSION SERVICE Glenda Henley, Kansas State University Extension/4-H, received one call. Helped caller identify areas near the college affected by the flood. Referred to USDA Flood Recovery Center. The Extension Service has used a portion of its flood recover money to fund 4-H clubs doing flood relief. Diverse projects include providing child care for flood-relief workers and flood-affected families, cleaning up a public library, and assisting in food drives. MISSOURI YOUTH SERVICE AND CONSERVATION CORPS Doug Sutton, job training program specialist, received three calls from schools in the St. Louis vicinity. He referred the callers to JTPA which received $15 million for flood relief. Currently, about 50 youth are involved in flood cleanup through the Conservation Corps but they are winding down as funding ends in December. He is awaiting word momentarily on a request to the Corporation to continue youth service/flood relief work. YOUTH BUILD ST. LOUIS Joyce Sonn, director, has received no calls. Currently, Youth Build has 11 youth rehabilitating homes of flood victims in the St. Louis area. She said she will apply for state funds for further programs. The state is waiting for funds from the Corporation, she said. MINNESOTA CONSERVATION CORPS Larry Fonnest, director of Minnesota Conservation Corps, got two calls from outlying colleges. He referred them to the state disaster management office. He is waiting to hear about a grant request to the Corporation. If funded, at least 30 youth would be involved in flood relief. They would do a variety of activities, including assisting in a project with technical people who will retrofit furnaces damaged by the flood, develop a plan of action for flood prevention in the future after reviewing completing an historical study of flooding in the southwest portion of the state, and develop a flood disaster manual in several languages for Hispanics and Hmong peoples living in an area of the state susceptible to flooding. (3) ACTION Robert Jackson, director, has received no telephone calls from colleges or universities. Three VISTA volunteers are working in southwest portion of the state in linking flood-affected clients with programs that can help with their needs. NORTH DAKOTA ACTION John Pohlman, director of ACTION in North and South Dakota, said he had received no calls from colleges or universities. No VISTA volunteers are working in flood relief in North or South Dakota. EXTENSION SERVICE Geraldine Bosch, assistant director extension, has received one call. Extension is planning youth programs to help deal with stress. NEBRASKA ACTION Anne Johnson, director, received no telephone calls. SOUTH DAKOTA EXTENSION SERVICE Bob Davis, Interim 4-H Program Leader at South Dakota State University, has received no calls. As for Extension flood-relief funds, they are in process of identifying someone who will work with teens, who in turn, will present an assembly about stress relief to 3rd through 6th graders. WISCONSIN CONSERVATION CORPS B. J. Panke, interim director, has not received one call. She has 325 people in teams across the state but they are not doing flood relief work. She is awaiting word from the Corporation about a grant that would fund about six more teams to do flood relief work, park repair and repair of state historical sites. Also, the Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois corps will form a "super corps", to do work along the Mississippi corridor if Corporation approves the grant. EXTENSION SERVICE Dr. David Running, Extension, 4-H Program Leader, has had no calls. The Extension Service is using its flood funds to finance mini- grants. Counties are in the process of submitting proposals and some of the projects will have youth components. Extension is also working with a program called, "Friends Helping Friends," a peer counseling program.
