The goal of this training is to prepare congregations and individuals to respond effectively in the event of a disaster and to understand how to serve as Lutheran Early Response Teams (LERT) volunteers. The training will introduce the LCMS Disaster Response LERT program, including LERT organizational structure and safety procedures. Participants will also learn how congregations can deploy volunteers to both local and more distant disaster sites.
