Disaster Preparedness and Recovery
Disaster Preparedness and Recovery
The Episcopal Church in Colorado continues to develop our capacity for resilience across our congregations and ministries. Through developing resilience & preparedness plans, through building a network of trained regional leaders, and through networking and information sharing via the Episcopal Asset Map, we continue to improve our ability to respond to disasters of all kinds, with the aim of providing a safe and resilient environment for our people and those we serve.
Winter Storm Preparedness
Stay safe and know what to do before, during, and after winter storms. Don’t forget to get the kids involved in planning for winter too! Being prepared for a worst-case scenario can not only save headaches later, but it can also save lives. See below for some great tips for how you and your family can be prepared.
