Regional Mass Care Citizen Preparedness and Emergency Human
Services Symposia Of the Governor's Faith Based Initiative
Faith-based Organizations (FBO’s) with
disaster missions help make real decisions in a local/regional
response to human needs and carry on the necessary work of
mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery during a disaster.
Within the context of the Faith-based Organization Initiative,
local communities will be better equipped to take ownership of,
and responsibility for, the response and recovery for the
organization itself, their membership, and other impacted citizens
or organizations. Governor Matt Blunt has created this initiative
and has asked the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to
partner with MU Extension to provide churches across the state
with information about how to develop an external ministry focused
on emergency human services.
This Faith-based Organization Initiative is designed to assist in
planning, developing, and maintaining resources and an operational
structure adequate to ensure that an immediate, identifiable
response capacity is available during crisis events. Through the
FBOI Missouri hopes to build upon sheltering capacity from the
present capacity of less than 1% (10,000) to 10% (500,000).
Additionally, the FBOI will introduce several human service areas
within critical emergency management functions toward which FBOs
may take additional steps, with appropriate training, that will
make them an integral part of state and local disaster response
and recovery resources.
There will be 11 regional training events – one event in each
homeland security region and one in each of the two urban area
security initiatives (UASIs) for a total of 11 training events.
Each training event will be conducted on two consecutive days with
audiences derived from interested members of
congregations/churches within the regional area. These events will
be called Missouri Regional Mass Care Citizen Preparedness and
Emergency Human Services Symposia.
Who is invited: Representatives of congregations of all faiths who
wish to bring emergency preparedness training back to their
church, synagogue, temple, mosque, and it's members, and learn
more about emergency response ministries to adopt at the local
level. All are welcome.
