Disaster Preparedness
Climate disasters are increasing in number and severity each year. Congregations who have prepared for disasters are more resilient and able to support the wider community. Vulnerable populations experience climate impacts first and worst. Prepared congregations are able to act as a sanctuary space during and after disaster emergencies.
Prepare your congregation for a weather disaster by learning about your local climate impacts and collaborating with you congregation and community on the disaster preparedness checklist. Share this checklist with others to increase your community's resilience to weather disasters. Check out more resources on climate impacts and weather disaster preparation below.
Join One Home One Future today and receive free access to support, community, resources, action guides, training, events, and more to support you and your congregation in preparing for disaster, strengthening your community, and protecting your loved ones. And don't forget to share your successes with the One Home One Future community!
