Be
Ready Sunday
Do you
want to inform your congregation on disaster readiness? Teach
your house of worship the importance of being ready if a natural
or man-made disaster strikes? If so then join others as we
prepare for Be Ready Sunday!
As part of
the Be Ready Alabama campaign the State of Alabama has created
the Be Ready Sunday initiative encouraging faith-based
organizations to educate their congregations on how to respond
when a man-made or natural disaster strikes.
The
Governor’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and
the Alabama Department of Homeland Security is encouraging
religious leaders of all faiths on Sunday, September 26th,
2010, or your nearest day of worship, to inform their
congregations on how to Be Informed. Be Involved. Be Ready.
By participating in Be Ready Sunday you are preparing your
members, houses of worship and communities for any type of
disaster.
The first
step in disaster preparedness is to be informed and have a plan
of what to do in case of a disaster. Fostering awareness in
your congregation about potential hazards and having a plan set
in place can save time, resources, money, and most importantly
lives.
We are
encouraging religious leaders to include disaster readiness
information in their Sunday bulletins, website or speak on the
importance of disaster readiness bringing the congregations
attention to the importance of disaster preparedness.
On this website you can find
the tools you need to prepare your congregation.
