Local Agency Connections


Fire Department meeting

Community robustness and resilience in the face of a disaster depends on a network of local agencies and organizations working together. Establishing links among all these groups is a key element in building a safer, more integrated community.

IPERC provides the advisory resources and frameworks to help integrate your organization into the community-wide emergency response infrastructure by helping you:

  • Access templates and outreach guides to introduce your house of worship to local response agencies.
  • Utilize planning frameworks to establish initial communication channels with your municipal Fire Department and Emergency Management Office.
  • Connect with independent peer networks and groups formed by safety and support teams at other local houses of worship.
  • Incorporate regional emergency response guidelines into your internal team exercises.
