Disaster Preparedness and Active Shooter Response
Churches throughout the diocese are encouraged to prepare for the possibility of a disaster in your community or at your place of worship. Church leaders should consider contacting local police or fire chief and ask to do a walkthrough for safety and security recommendations specific to the architecture and congregation. Resources for disaster planning and active shooter preparedness can be found here:
Grants available from FEMA for security upgrades to churches and non-profits

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is committed to supporting efforts to maintain safe and secure houses of worship and related facilities while sustaining an open and welcoming environment.
