Disaster Preparedness Committee

Chariman: SK Michael E Steffens

Information from Supreme for this committee:

• Prepare your community before disaster strikes. Communities can be brought to a halt when disaster occurs — from large natural disasters to local crises. as community leaders, Knights of Columbus will ensure that their members, families and parish communities are prepared through a campaign that promotes planning and education. This program motivates councils to take a holistic approach to emergency situations by promoting readiness in times of crisis, assessing response capabilities, and learning how to properly respond well ahead of a disaster. Councils will engage their parish and community in disaster preparedness exercises by organizing trainings, fundraisers and various awareness activities.
