Natural Disasters

Despite the damage it brings, a great deal of North Carolina weather provides warning enough to put at least basic preparedness plans in place. They give us time to consider what we need to do to be as ready as possible, what to do if affected by the storm and how to help if not.

Plan Module 2: Natural Disasters


QUICK PLANS

If you don't yet have a preparedness plan in place, please take a few minutes to fill out the (very) quick plan.

When you have more time to think it through, start your preparedness plan by completing diocesan plan modules one (general information) and two (natural disasters).


BUILDING YOUR PLAN
This presentation walks you through preparing for the 2021 hurricane season and natural disasters in general with a review of considerations and the diocesan plan templates dedicated to this topic.

    Christine McTaggart

    Communications Director
    919-600-5314 |

    While Christine has enjoyed the chance to work in several interesting industries throughout her career, the common thread for her has always been marketing and communications. She enjoys seeing how communications can bring people together to share ideas, news, conversations, thoughts, discoveries and more. In her work with the diocesan communications department, she’s working to create those connection channels for all 120 worshipping communities through strategic planning, integrated communication and new opportunities to bring everyone together as a diocese.

    When she’s not working, Christine enjoys spending time with family and friends, cheering on her favorite (usually underdog) sports teams, reading, doing just about anything outdoors and, above all, enjoying time with her dog, Bentley.
