Accinctus Announces New Service to Help Churches Prepare for Disasters

Accinctus is pleased to announce a new service line to assist churches and faith-based organizations prepare for disruptive incidents and disasters.

Monument, CO, December 09, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Every day natural disasters and other incidents impact churches across the country. Although they face risks similar to government agencies and businesses, faith-based organizations are typically unprepared for the unique challenges they face from disruptions:

· Natural disasters, technology failures, utility outages, and threats to staff and congregant safety such as medical emergencies, bomb threats, protests, and active-shooter incidents.
· Unique risks related to special services including daycare, schools, or elderly care
· A culture of service where the “doors are always open” increases security and safety risks
· Increased need for critical services during and after disasters to support the community

Dealing with these challenges is more difficult for faith-based organizations considering limited resources, small permanent staff, and a significant reliance on volunteers.

The Accinctus Preparedness for Churches and Faith-Based Organizations (Prep4FBOs) service line provides preparedness planning and training in a flexible, best-practice based approach that churches can utilize at 4 levels of activity depending on their requirements.

1. Prep4FBOs Workshop: Seminar to educate staff on basic preparedness fundamentals. Includes a practical approach to risk analysis and developing a plan of action to address organization requirements.

2. Prep4FBOs Assessment: Project that delivers a completed set of documents laying a foundation of a preparedness program. Designed for organizations that need help establishing a program but intend to implement long term actions with internal resources.

3. Prep4FBOs Implementation Project: Full implementation of a self-sufficient preparedness program. Applies business continuity practices using the Accinctus ADAPTABLE© model to meet preparedness requirements.

4. Program Review or Exercise: For organizations with established emergency procedures, Accinctus can provide an independent review or a tailored exercise to evaluate your plans and identify areas for improvement.

Denial of the risks and not taking action to prepare are not a responsible strategy and do not protect the welfare of your congregation and those you serve. Accinctus will help you prepare for emergencies and disasters. For a no-cost initial assessment to learn how you can prepare to continue your service despite emergencies and disasters or for more information, email questions@accinctus.com.

Accinctus is a Veteran-Owned Small Business providing business preparedness and continuity consulting services for small to large businesses and other organizations across the US to help them prepare for disasters and disruptions.
