Disaster Response Training
New Madrid Earthquake Fault . . . Our New Orleans
Just ONE reason your church needs to be READY FOR DISASTER!
Tornadoes, Flooding, Earthquakes, and Ice Storms WILL affect your church and community, be it tomorrow, 10 days, 10 years, or 100 years from now. Is your congregation PREPARED???
Most are not. While in our minds we know these things can and will happen, in our HEARTS we DO NOT BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN TO US. One day of training can’t fix that, but it can begin the process of seeing how the local church can be a witness of the Living Christ when disaster strikes at home.
We will be rotating several different disaster related trainings from district to district, offering each at least twice a year. Included are UMCOR classes: District/Local Church Readiness, Early Response Team, and Spiritual/Emotional Care. Please see below currently scheduled trainings or contact Jason Brock to see if the training can be offered at your church.
Disaster Readiness Training--preparing local churches to develop a readiness plan to care for congregation, facility, and community
District Date Time Location
Early Response Team Training--for persons who want to respond as a part of an organized Early Response Team (ERT) in the early days of a disaster through cutting trees, clearing debris, tarping roofs, and other tasks to help make damaged homes “safe, sanitary, and secure.”
