Scientology Volunteer Ministers Support President Obama's Call for Disaster Readiness
Scientology Volunteer Ministers are working with police, firefighters and other community organizations to ready citizens for effective disaster response as part of National Preparedness Month.
09.13.2009 – Scientology Volunteer Ministers from San Diego to New York are bringing practical—and potentially lifesaving—information to the general public this month as part of President Obama's National Preparedness Month. Together with local police, firefighters and animal protection agencies, the aim is to prepare individuals and communities to better withstand and more rapidly recover from emergencies.
On September 12 in San Diego, the Volunteer Ministers, Humane Society, Animal Rescue team and Chamber of Commerce will host a series of workshops for local residents on trauma recovery and protecting pets in disasters. In Los Angeles, the Volunteer Ministers are working with the County Sheriff's Multi-Faith Clergy Council to aid residents in coping with the wildfires that continue to burn in the area.
In Portland on September 19, the Volunteer Ministers will hold an all-afternoon event at O'Bryant Square. Scientology Volunteer Ministers who served at disaster sites such as 9/11, Katrina and the Indian Ocean tsunami will demonstrate techniques that help victims recover emotionally and physically after an injury or traumatic event. Local firefighters will discuss fire evacuation procedures for home and office. The Portland Police Department will present a "Know Your Neighborhood" seminar, and the Portland Office of Emergency Management will provide information on where to go during a major disaster, how to assess and report damage to the command center and how to search buildings and locate and evacuate survivors.
According to Maria Reyher, a Scientology Volunteer Ministers Disaster Response Coordinator in Los Angeles, Volunteer Ministers Disaster Readiness events are planned throughout September. "The President asked that all Americans work to coordinate local emergency preparedness efforts, and this coordination is a very critical element," she says. "Scientology Volunteer Ministers know that something can be done about any situation, and by improving our ability to respond to emergencies widely, we can all be more responsible for the safety and security of ourselves and others."
