Disaster Preparedness & Emergency Response

Emergencies can affect a parish, ministry or community at anytime. Be prepared.

From large-scale natural disasters to localized acts of human violence, these events can devastate our communities and overwhelm our resources. Though we cannot plan for, or prevent, every possible outcome, we can take precautions that minimize the impact of a disaster on our parish and, in turn, serve the community in the midst of a traumatic event.
