Planning Guidance & Tools


Planning
  • Thorough risk and vulnerability assessments are a good starting point for developing comprehensive contingency plans. IPERC supports this process by providing links to specialized self-assessment resources and offering templates to help you request and coordinate safety walkthroughs with your local emergency response agencies.

  • IPERC can help you with information and resources available through Emergency Response Agencies at the County, State, and National levels.

  • If you explore establishing an Emergency Support Center, IPERC provides comprehensive planning templates to help your leadership evaluate facility layout options and outline volunteer team roles. We can also connect you with peer networks at other houses of worship that have navigated this development process.
