  • Tracking Drought Recovery and Resilience in Mccook, NE a Community Capitals Framework Approach
    Tracking Drought Recovery and Resilience in McCook, NE A Community Capitals Framework Approach Dr. Deborah Bathke, Tonya Bernadt, Dr. Theresa Jedd, Tony Mucia, Jake Petr, Nicole Wall (National Drought Mitigation Center), Dr. Duane Gill (Oklahoma State University), Dr. Bimal Paul (Kansas State University), Kurt Mantonya & Milan Wall (Heartland Center for Leadership Dev) Part I: Executive Summary Natural disasters affect scores of towns across the Great Plains each year. Media accounts describe the devastating impacts of these disasters and the initial attempts toward recovery. These accounts of disaster recovery regularly emphasize the importance of volunteer help from neighboring communities, services and materials provided by local governments and faith-based organizations, and financial assistance from federal agencies. The Community Capitals for Disaster Recovery and Resilience project was funded by the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development (NCRCRD). The project brought together a group of researchers taking a scientific approach to assess the internal and external resources available to rural communities to help them successfully respond to and recover from natural disasters. This multidisciplinary team, comprising faculty research associates, extension specialists, student researchers, and nonprofit facilitators from North Dakota State University, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, South Dakota State University, Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University, and the Heartland Center for Leadership Development, conducted a series of case studies to analyze and document how three communities responded to and recovered from natural disasters. The three rural communities are Breckenridge, MM, which experienced devastating flooding in 1997; McCook, NE, affected by the widespread severe to extreme drought of 2012; and Pilger, NE, which experienced an EF-4 tornado in 2014.
