General Disaster Relief Church Survey

Greetings! The Trinity Conference has recently developed a new Disaster Response Team. This team is charged with making sure that local churches are equipped to respond effectively and efficiently to disasters in their community, throughout the conference, and beyond. Understanding your existing disaster response capability, capacity, and needs will be paramount to us being able to better support your efforts. Please take just a few moments to answer this brief questionnaire so we can move forward with creating a strong response support plan for the Conference. THANK YOU! We respect and appreciate your time.
