“Preparation through education is less costly than learning through tragedy.”
- Max Mayfield, former Director National Hurricane Center

Are You and Your Parish Community Prepared....

When a disaster happens, whether man made or natural, the Catholic Church is often the first place survivors of the disaster turn to.   They turn to the Church for comfort, food, shelter, guidance and hope.

No one thinks a tornado, flood, or other disaster will affect them, until it does.
