Description

Strengthening the Strengtheners: A Toolkit in Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response for Congregations is a very useful collection of resources, checklists, and assessment questions from various faith-based, community, and federal organizations to help places of worship develop plans for emergencies. The materials include stockpiling lists and considerations, plus information on emotional distress and coping. This brief guidebook addresses special populations, such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, animals and pets.

Component Parts
Materials submitted for this project consist of electronic documents and web links, and combinations of both. If a component part appears to have more than one link, this is why: CIDRAP saved the documents and reviewed both documents and links when the practices were submitted for review. The external links included here may be duplicative to some of the stored files, but they may also be updated or provide additional useful information.
