Nebraska is recovering from wildfires that have damaged rangeland, pastures, fences, and farm infrastructure across the state. This page hosts the "Nebraska Recovery Roundup" article series, along with wildfire recovery resources for landowners and agricultural producers, including disaster assistance and livestock recovery.

Nebraska Extension Disaster Education Network
Nebraska Recovery Roundup is a recurring series from the Center for Agricultural Profitability and Nebraska Extension offering timely, research-based information for producers and communities working through wildfire recovery. Each new article points you toward specific resources and practical next steps, whatever stage of recovery you're in.
Two sites anchor this work. The Nebraska Extension Disaster Education Network covers disaster recovery resources statewide, organized by agriculture, individuals and families, home health and safety, and businesses and communities. The Nebraska Wildfire Recovery site focuses specifically on post-fire recovery for working lands, including rangeland recovery, livestock systems, and infrastructure repair.
New articles in this series will appear here as they're published. News media are encouraged to use the articles.
