                     Illinois Flood Information Service


A new shared library, Flood Information, has been set up to help
Illinois CES personnel respond to the flooding along the
Mississippi and other rivers.  The library contains information
prepared specifically for Illinois as well as materials obtained
from other states' Extension Services.  A number of federal and
state agencies have also been asked to provide related
information.  The library includes fact sheets on safety,
cleanup, repairs, dealing with stress, insurance, frequently
asked questions, radio spots, and references to other materials.

Anyone may access the flood information by using one of the three
methods below.  The information is kept on the Illinois Dialup
