•IS: 505- FEMA: Religious & Cultural Literacy & Competency in Disaster **
FEMA Administrator, W. Craig Fugate began to promulgate the Whole Community Concept. Based on this concept, he stated that “When a disaster strikes, the initial services provided may not come from government, but rather from churches, synagogues, mosques and other faith-based and community organizations.” "Improving the Nation's Response to Catastrophic Disasters: How to Minimize Costs and Streamline our Emergency Management Programs" – W. Craig Fugate, March 30, 2011. Based on the idea that religious and cultural communities are part of the Whole Community, the DHS Center for Faith-based & Neighborhood Partnerships works to form partnerships between the Federal Government and faith-based and neighborhood organizations to more effectively serve Americans in need.
What is a Chaplains Task-force?
The Chaplains Taskforce consist of two initiatives established to work on specific tasks and activities such as crisis and faith-based incidents, to help assist under the direction of a government, community event or disaster while providing a leading support system in spiritual and religious efforts and service to all those in need.
Why the need of a Chaplains taskforce?
Each person's role in the task force is important, the role of the chaplain is always unique because in a predicament people might need the presence or the love of God, and spiritual calm.
To have the representation of the chaplain during a community, city, county, state or national event available during a crisis-incident and moral conflict is critical because it is going to be an emotional event, for any and all the people affected.
Chaplaincy trains, maintains and dispatches highly skilled volunteer Christian ordained, and lay Chaplains. Chaplaincy also trains Inter-Faith lay Chaplains for Community Crisis and to provide spiritual and emotional support and assistance to the interfaith community. Chaplaincy offers support to individuals and their families, local & state agencies, as well as public and private institutions, in times of crisis. Our Community Crisis and Faith based Chaplains bring images of order in the midst of chaos and hope in the midst of despair and conflict. They advise at all levels and offer honest and candid moral and spiritual guidance to all.
Purpose?
To provide spiritual leadership and ministry that enriches the lives of Nevada, and local and global communities in support of the free exercise of religion in peace, conflict, disaster, and war.
Chaplains are non-combatants and serve where necessary and when called upon.
Chaplaincy Taskforce Services?
-Community Crisis Response Units
-Chaplains Bring Order in the Midst of Chaos
-Hope in the Midst of Despair
Chaplains Benefit?
To serve the people in the State of Nevada, government and citizens alike is an honor, it's a great educational opportunity, and it's a great opportunity to grow personally as well.
Dynamics?
The dynamics of the task force are unique. As soon as there is an incident in the state and the governor declares a state of emergency, Chaplains will be called to assist people in the event of a disaster.
The Chaplain taskforce religious/spiritual support team would assist everyone involved in the recovery effort where directed. The religious and spiritual support team used in a time of crisis could provide religious counseling and attend to the spiritual needs of those affected.
Sometimes people just need to decompress with the chaplain during crisis or circumstance, and a Chaplain can help with that one-on-one assistance helping them be at ease.
Chaplain Taskforce Requirements?
Our volunteer chaplains are certified in First Aid, CPR & AED, and CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). Our Chaplains currently hold background checks which are conducted through a variety of checks from law enforcement and/or state, county, organizations, etc.
Chaplaincy Training?
