Disaster Preparedness
Kern Leadership Alliance DISASTER & EMERGENCY RESPONSE plan prepares the faith community to effectively respond in the event of a local disaster. In collaboration with public and private agencies (including American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, Kern County Office of Emergency Services, Kern County Department of Public Health, Bakersfield Fire Department, and San Joaquin Community Hospital), Kern Leadership Alliance trains and mobilizes churches to serve as shelters, staging areas, and distribution centers for disaster relief. Currently 150 churches are participating in the community-wide strategic initiative.
When disaster strikes "like a theif in the night" will our community be prepared?
That is the question members Kern Leadership Alliance asked in regards to the faith community here in Kern County. We live in dangerous times. Terrorism is on the rise, with elevated threat levels now a part of our daily routine. We have watched thousands experience loss of life, property, and security when hurricanes, earthquakes, and wild fires have struck unexpectedly.
How can we, as a faith community, prepare ourselves to respond should disaster strike?
As people of faith, are were prepared to be the caring hands of Jesus, extended to those who are afraid, in need of shelter, in need of hope? As part of its efforts to engage followers of Jesus to work together for community transformation, Kern Leadership Alliance is collaborating with public and private agencies to mobilize people of faith, as well as churches, to become part of a community-wide strategy for disaster preparedness.
Join with Kern Leadership Alliance to better serve our community in times of greatest need.
If you would like more information on how to get involved or get prepared, whether you are a church or an individual, please don't hesitate to contact us. We will start by providing you simple first steps to ready your family, church and community for unforeseen life-threatening disasters. We can then help you build a plan that will allow your church aid in sustaining our community in time of crisis.
