WHAT IS A DISASTER?

Evolving Role of Government

Advantages of Preparedness Planning

• Better Planning Leads to Better Outcomes

• Muddling Through: more suffering, hardship loss of life and property

• With more complex and costly disaster events in the 21st Century, government alone does not have the resources.

The Planning Process (on page 4)

Is flexible and can be adapted to accommodate a house of worship’s unique characteristics and situation.

May involves collaboration with community partners-local emergency management staff, first responders, nongovernmental partners (e.g. American Red Cross) and public and mental health officials-during the planning process.

So what have we learned?

Step #1: Forming a collaborative planning team

Questions to consider during your first meeting

Do we have people in our house of worship that have a background as a first responder/disaster volunteer?

How do we contact and communicate with congregants when someone is on the sick and shut in list?

What does our insurance policy cover if our building is damaged?

VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES EXERCISE
