Our Church is working through the process of developing an emergency preparedness plan. If we are to have an intruder or a conflict situation, how will we deal with it? We want to be prepared to handle anything unexpected.  

Before we completed this plan, we started by creating an emergency prevention plan. What steps can we take to keep from having emergency issues?

When you make a plan for the next year as an individual or as part of a group, remember the saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Doing the things that prevent a crisis often seems boring, tedious, and unnecessary. But I guarantee you it is far better to do those things now than clean up a mess later. Monotonous activities done regularly are not surprising, which is precisely the point.
