Bill,
Response to: "Please help me gather insights on emergency preparedness for 
our UU congregations."

-what about information on working with the city's emergency response system 
(and/or the Red Cross) for being a shelter / alternative hospital site / 
emergency food distribution site / etc. in the case of a city-wide 
emergency?

-maybe offer a building checklist that one can do a "walk-through" their 
building to identify potential safety concerns

-offer samples of comprehensive safety plans (ours is attached)

-discuss recommendations on how to train RE program (and congregation) for 
fire and tornado alarms

-provide samples of emergency communication policies / procedures (info. 
like who is contacted, how, and in what order?  Who has authority to speak 
to the media on behalf of the church?)

Hope some of these ideas are helpful.
