Disasters and Religions

CRCC has built a great app that makes it so easy to understand faith communities and how to engage appropriately, especially in emergency situations. This is a must have for anyone doing work in local communities, especially those in the public sector. Highly recommend!!

This app is a goldmine of useful, practical information for addressing the unique needs of different faith communities that arise during a time of crisis. Perhaps even more importantly, it’s easy to use - which means it can be relied on to actually be helpful when a disaster occurs. Great work by the CRCC! I hope non-profit community orgs, safety and law enforcement orgs, faith communities and public health workers all benefit from this app.

As a faith based community organizer, I always hear from civic leaders that engaging the faith community is important and big moments, whether it be natural disasters, big decisions we are making as a community or country, and obviously the role faith communities play in people’s everyday lives. This app is a great contribution to close the gap of knowledge and avoid the all too common unfortunate and unintentional “foot-in-mouth whoops moments” that can occur when leaders and volunteers are working with communities that they aren’t familiar with. Anyone who is in leadership around disaster response should download this app for their engagement with faith communities of all kinds. So grateful to the designers and developers for building this.
