Disasters happen, but being prepared makes recovery far easier. Below are two resources every local church should know about.
If your church wants to create its own disaster plan, go to the UCC National Disaster Resources website and check out the Local Church Disaster Response Resources. Included is the UCC Local Church Disaster Preparedness and Planning Guide, a complete guide for a local church to create their own plan.
When disaster strikes our neighbors, how do we help? Training is the key. Local church teams of disaster responders may self-train by using the new online resource created for this purpose. It is a step-by-step training manual: www.communityarise.com/index.htm.
If you have a trained team that is able to respond to a disaster event, let us know and we will connect them to the right people in order to go to work where needed.
