DISASTER RESPONSE

PREPARED?

The summer season is approaching and we can expect the severe storms that often come with it.

Every church should have a Disaster Response Team so that the entire burden of response does not fall on the pastor's shoulders. Training can be arranged. Call Rev. Gerry Bertsch, Wisconsin Conference Disaster Ministry Team Leader.

It's important for everyone to have a survival kit on hand with
3-5 days supply of water and non-perishable foods for family members and pets.

Have a plan for how to survive or evacuate. Have a meeting place
where family members will meet in case quick evacuation is needed due to a fire. Your local Red Cross office can furnish a contents list for your survival kit.
