Birdflu Mailing List: Emergency Preparedness for your Congregation

[William Weir (wweir1]

Please help me gather insights on emergency preparedness for our UU
congregations.

In addition to the work we did in reducing the toll of the 2009 H1N1
influenza A, there are other concerns, such as
>  Choosing an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), raising funds to
obtain it, where to install it, and determining who in the congregation
says, DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), that is, don't use it on me.
>   Preparing for disarming and restraining a person with a weapon and
protecting others from a potential assailant.
>   Reducing spread of infection through offering alcohol-based hand
cleanser for everyone before picking up a plate and utensils -- usually
after handling money.
>   Choosing, planning and installing a security system to reduce the toll
of robbery and burglary through motion alerts and video-audio recording

I am preparing for the Prairie Star District UUA Conference in Davenport,
IA, Friday=Sunday, April 23-25, where I hope to share these insights with a
person who shares our concerns in each of the other congregations.
