How will your house of worship recover following a major loss?
Resilience is the capacity of individuals, communities, governments, institutions, houses of worship, and social systems to survive, adapt, and grow – no matter what kind of challenges or disasters they experience.
Your house of worship resilience planning addresses the impacts most likely to disrupt your house of worship, the critical activities that are essential to stay open and recovery quickly, and resilience strategies to keep those critical activities running.
There are 4 basic steps to building House of Worship resilience:
- Identify risks that make your house of worship vulnerable (Risk Assessment).
- Analyze the impacts those risks potentially have on your house of worship (House of Worship Impact Analysis).
- Create a resilience strategy and plan using the template included in this guide.
- Measure your efforts through testing, training, and maintaining your documents.
