- Connecting the church to outside resources and to the community’s emergency plan
- Identifying the types of disasters most likely to impact the local church community and the needs that may arise
- Assessing the church’s resources to meet those needs
- Identifying the church’s role in disaster readiness and response
- Developing a communication system for disasters
- Planning for local response
