Websites devoted to providing links to information dealing with problems faced after a major storm have been set up by branches of the University of Missouri Extension. Topics run the gamut from food, water and people safety to saving trees after the winds die down, Missouri's fencing law, how cattle and insulation don't mix, and what is a proper storm shelter.

Some main links are:

• Community Emergency Management

• Security & Safety

• Southwest Missouri Region Tips
