ADVISING CORNER
COVID TESTING
Students – I’d like to highlight a portion of Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Laurie Bellows’s message that was sent to you on 11/10/20. This message includes important messaging about Covid testing and traveling home during the break. In her letter Bellows wrote: “Looking beyond final exams, I know many students will choose to return home to spend the break with friends and family. Please take the following precautions before you leave: Get a COVID-19 test before leaving the Lincoln-area to avoid unknowingly bringing COVID-19 home to your family or friends. Free testing will be available beginning Monday, Nov. 16. More-

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
From January to October 2020 the United State experienced 16 weather/climate events which resulted in more than $1 billion in damages each!

The field of planning serves as the foundation for saving lives, protecting economic investments and building stronger more resilient communities. Hazard mitigation planning is one specific tool that can effectively address community vulnerabilities before disaster strikes, providing proactive strategies to reduce risk and identify opportunities for redundancy and increased capacity so that when the storm is raging, communities not only survive but thrive.
