Preparedness Month

9/10/2024

when the plan turns into action

Picture
September is National Preparedness Month and a good opportunity for congregations to consider ways to build or strengthen their capacity to better serve their communities during and after an emergency. In the work of disaster response, Week of Compassion sees firsthand what a difference it makes to a church – and to the whole community – when individuals, families, and communities of faith start the conversation, and take steps to be prepared. ​

Willing to Respond: National Preparedness Month

9/13/2023

helping churches think ahead for disaster readiness

Picture
Week of Compassion is part of the Willing to Respond network, providing a registry of willing congregations and a library of vetted resources, to connect churches and organizations for disaster preparedness and response.

To mark National Preparedness Month (September), Week of Compassion is sharing the current issue of the Willing to Respond newsletter, sent every other month to registered Disciples congregations. ​WTR also provides churches with training, tips, and tools to reduce risk and be ready to assist neighbors when disaster strikes.

For information and to register as a WTR congregation, go to WillingToRespond.org
