     The research aimed mainly at identifying some of the personal, social and economic characteristics of the respondents, and identifying the extension activities provided for the management of agricultural crises, and identifying the degree of farmers benefiting from the extension activities for managing agricultural crises, and determining the relationship between the degree of farmers benefiting from the extension activities to implement the technical recommendations for the management of agricultural crises as a dependent variable and among some of the independent variables studied.
     This research was conducted in the Al-Tineh Plain area of the Sinai Peninsula, as one of the reclaimed areas, with three villages (Village 3, Village 4, and Village 7) randomly selected from the largest villages that were reclaimed in the region. Data was collected during the period from the beginning of May until mid-June 2023, from during a personal interview questionnaire on a random sample of 322 respondents in the Al-Tineh Plain area of the Sinai Peninsula.
    The data were presented and analyzed: tabular presentation with frequencies and percentages, arithmetic averages, standard deviation, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient, correlational and multiple regression models, and the data was analyzed using the statistical analysis program (spss).
The most important results showed:

Approximately 95.3% of the total respondents were directed to extension activities in the field of agricultural crisis management that were either specific or medium.
And that the vast majority of the respondents, 88.8%, had a low or medium level of benefit from extension activities for managing agricultural crises.
It was found from the results that there is a significant correlation between the total degree of benefit of the respondent farmers from the extension activities to implement the items of the special recommendations for the management of agricultural crises and between the following independent variables studied: the degree of education of the respondent, the degree of exposure to extension means of communication, the degree of trend towards innovations, and the area of Agricultural tenure, the degree of orientation towards extension activities, while the rest of the relationships and between the rest of the independent variables studied were not significant.
