Ready Christian

Page history last edited by Michael W. Boler 11 years, 5 months ago

Ready Christian -- 'Trained to be aware of what God is doing, Prepared to survive & support others, Ready to pray, care & give hope to those in crisis." 

 

 

  • 'Ready Christian'  [ReadyChristian.org]
    Ready Christian means to be Spiritually, Emotionally, Mentally and Physically Ready for an Emergency.  It involves selecting a partner for accountability, collaboration and encouragement toward biblical readiness and personal response goals. You'll also become a 'ready-citizen' by:  making a kit, making a plan, and staying informed. Moreover, as Christians, we will develop a strong Prayer, Care, Share lifestyle and constantly be seeking and saving the lost. According to ones gifts, talents, and resources, you can be part of a team that participates in response drills, volunteer, give and invite others to be the hands and feet of the body of Christ during a crisis.

I have down loaded this and I believe this should be the format for a round table discussion. For our meeting on June 10th The mayor is expected at 11:30am so we can start at 10:00 am and end at 2:00 FEMA has done all the work
The operative word is Self-directed So we can work with Church and Ministry Leaders at their own pace. I have shared the docs on the google site.

National Level Exercise (NLE) 2011 Self-directed Tabletop (TTX) - Option 4. The self-directed TTX slide show with complete facilitator notes is now available online at: http://www.fema.gov/privatesector/exercises.shtm in Adobe pdf and PowerPoint format. Full download instructions for each format are pasted below and available on the exercise page.

This presentation developed by the FEMA National Exercise Division and FEMA Private Sector Division, is a scaled down version of the full level play, and is designed to simulate the catastrophic nature of a major earthquake in the central United States region of the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ). The exercise includes three mock news videos, and interactive discussion and planning questions, including emergency management planning tools for employees and community members with disabilities and accessibility needs.

If you experience technical issues with the TTX or would like to give us feedback, please email us at FEMA-Private-Sector@dhs.gov.
