Robin Zagurski, a social worker in the department of psychiatry, has received the Lt. Governor’s “Be Prepared” Award in the Excellence in Risk Communication category.

She received her award earlier this month at a news conference at the State Capitol. Zagurski was honored for her work in the education of professionals and volunteers to handle disasters.

Zagurski was a mental health first responder following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the 2007 Von Maur shootings at Westroads Mall and the 2008 tornado at the Little Sioux Scout Camp.

She wrote psychological curriculum for first responders and has instructed local first responders in psychological care as it relates to emergency response and recovery efforts.
