Basic Disaster Ministry is an introduction for all people interested in the unique and important role the faith community plays in disaster mitigation, preparedness, and response in the United States. Participants learn about disasters, traditional responses to a disaster and how the faith-based response is different, how to prepare for a disaster, and ways to get involved after disaster strikes. The class provides a vision of disaster response that includes emotional and spiritual care as well as physical rebuilding to assist in long-term recovery of those in need and addresses the unmet needs of all survivors, particularly people who were vulnerable before a disaster.

During an emergency, it’s imperative that those within your organization know how to
communicate effectively. The need to communicate has led to increasing use of Social
Media platforms during recent disasters across the globe. The most recent examples of
expanded use of Social Media during a crisis include the Joplin Tornado and Virginia
Earthquake. In each case, various social media tools were used not only to disseminate
news about the disasters, but also coordinate the response and recovery.
Join the United States Small Business Administration and co‐sponsor Agility Recovery as
we welcome a social media expert from the American Red Cross to discuss the steps and
best practices for developing your own organization’s strategy for Crisis Communications
utilizing Social Media.
