Disasters happen; are you prepared? Join World Renew DRS for a one-hour webinar on November 6, 2013. We’ll help you get started!

Floods. Hurricanes. Tornadoes. These are natural disasters we hear about nearly every day. What about terrorism and biological threats? Is your family, church, or community prepared?

It seems that more disasters are striking closer to home then they have before. Many people who thought they would never be in harm’s way have had their world turned upside down when their home was washed or blown away. In the last two years, churches and communities in New Jersey, New York, Alberta, Colorado, and elsewhere have experienced the devastating aftermath that natural disasters leave in their own backyard.

Do you have a disaster plan for your family and home? How can your church prepare your congregation, preserve your buildings, and respond in the community after a disaster? Do you know what disasters you could be vulnerable to in your area?

There are extensive resources about disaster preparedness available on the internet today.  Trying to figure out where to start can feel like a whirlwind in itself.  For the last few years, World Renew Disaster Response Services (DRS) has been developing an organized process to help churches and families reduce the risk of property damage, personal injury, or even loss of life when a disaster strikes.

Join DRS for a webinar on November 6, 2013, from noon to 1 pm EST, to learn more about this step-by-step process and the resources available. 

You will hear from DRS Director Bill Adams and Sue Kuipers, DRS Systems Coordinator, as well as Pastor Rick Ebbers from The Journey Church in Longmont, Colorado, whose community was recently flooded.
