Church Emergency Response Plans in Billings, MT

What Should Church Emergency Preparedness Plans Include?

A church emergency action plan is a document that answers the what, where, why, and how of what to do in case of a natural disaster or emergency situation. It’s important to be as specific as possible in this plan so that there are no questions left unanswered at the moment you need a plan most. In the plan, you want to have key information, including:

• Assigning a designated meeting place near the church, but far enough from it to be out of harm’s way
• Providing a communication list, including but not limited to local police, fire, gas, and electric companies, and local emergency restoration companies and contractors
• Assigning leadership roles to people in all parts of the church to be able to regroup and hire the right people to help clean up, board up, repair, and rebuild the church after the disaster has passed.
