Description
No one person, government, or organizations, to include Houses of Worship, are immune from disaster. Some examples from Louisiana include an earthquake in 1931 that rocked Napoleonville, a killing spree in which five people were murdered in Gonzales during a Baptist church service in 2009, a fire that demolished an Episcopal church in Houma last year. Add to this other events such as molestation, assaults, hurricanes, etc., and the purpose of this service project becomes evident. Creating a risk assessment template for leaders and members of a House of Worship to identify risks and prepare for disasters is quite important.
