Disaster Response through Basic LERT training
Tornadoes, floods, fires. When a disaster or crisis happens, do you have a strategy and plan how to respond? Or will you merely react because there is no plan in in place? Advance preparation will significantly increase your effectiveness in when a disaster occurs.
Responding to a disaster is a vital part of who we are as members of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Responding to a disaster allows a congregation and its members to confess Christ to their community, region and world in ways they may have never considered before.
The goal of these training events is to prepare congregations and individuals to be better prepared when a disaster strikes and help them know how to response. The LERT (Lutheran Early Response Team) model will be presented. Participants will learn how to develop local teams of trained volunteers to response when disasters occur. Congregations are encouraged to send a group of people to this training for ready application when you get back home.
