USACE Response to COVID-19 - Resources for the NRM Community

This link on the NRM Gateway home page offers resources to the NRM CoP during the USACE response to COVID-19. Most of resources have been previously distributed via email by leadership and are consolidated for ease of reference. The page provides a convenient link to the KM Portal - COVID-19 USACE Site which is your primary source for agency briefing materials, public affairs information, as well as links to the World Health Organization and Center for Disease Control.

We also are posting success stories and lessons learned from your local experiences with the COVID-19 response. An example is poster/banner developed by the Tulsa District for social distancing as recreation areas are re-opened.

Please submit your COVID-19 GETS by email to Bonnie Bryson (Bonnie.F.Bryson@usace.army.mil) and Ginny Dickerson (Virginia.L.Dickerson@usace.army.mil) for consideration for posting.

#USACEeducates Launch - A Way To Virtually Reach Your Visitors

What or Who is #USACEeducates?
A group of Park Rangers from across the nation have joined together, virtually, to create some neat things for you to do to keep your mind working and thinking about the outdoors - while you are physical distancing.

Each week we will upload a week of Facebook postings, to the Interpretive Services and Outreach Program (ISOP) SharePoint site, to help our visitors learn about USACE and the world around them while they arent able to be out at our parks. A notification will be sent out through the NRM Community Forum when the new posts are available. The Sharepoint site is located at https://cops.usace.army.mil/sites/NRM/ISO/Online%20Resource%20Group/Forms/AllItem s.aspx

Posts are geared toward family and youth education. Attached is a picture for each post, and the Word Doc has the verbiage and links for each day. Some days have an AM and PM posting. Please share these resources on your project and district Facebook pages.

Upcoming Focus Subjects: April 27: Building More than Dams May 4: Pollinators May 11: Invasive Species May 18: Water Safety May 26: USACE Careers

If you have any questions or ideas for future #USACEeducates posts please send them to Tim Bischoff (Tim.Bischoff@usace.army.mil) and Amanda Kruse (Amanda.L.Kruse@usace.army.mil).
