Abstract
The Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) Rapid Response Center was developed within the Kansas State University Cooperative Extension System (K-State Research and Extension) to support 120 Kansas FACS Extension agents. With access to specialists often times limited and differing levels of technology from county-to-county, agents needed a subject-matter based resource to provide timely information to a answer unusual information requests. The usefulness of the center is described using two years' worth of accumulated data and an evaluation of the center by agents. Future plans, including expansion of the center into other subject areas, are discussed.
