Scientific Climate Change information was referenced by Aaron Wilson, climate specialist – OSU College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and by David Wallace-Wells, author of the best-selling book, “The Uninhabitable Earth”. Assistance to Farmers and Homeowners was discussed and addressed with hand-outs from FEMA, EMA, Small Business Administration (SBA), Farm Service Agency (FSA) and other federal and state programs. Information was also available on the Ohio Department of Insurance Recovery Toolkits and the claim filing process with insurance companies.
