4th Annual Disaster Preparedness Summit for NYC Religious Leaders

On September 25, coinciding with its 4th Annual Disaster Preparedness Summit for NYC Religious Leaders, NYDIS released its "Manual for New York City Religious Leaders: Mental Health and Spiritual Care for Disaster Response and Recovery."

This 152-page Manual, a compilation of 19 chapters by 16 different disaster mental health and
spiritual care experts, was edited by the Reverend Stephen Harding, Director of Pastoral Care at NYU Medical Center and FDNY Chaplain.

The Manual offers an overview of the lifecycle of disasters, discusses the role of religious leaders in houses of worship throughout these phases, and pr ovides information to guide NYC religious leaders to skill sets, training resources and effective clinical and pastoral best practices. The chapters are organized into three sections: Preparation & Mitigation, Response & Recovery, and Reference & Resources. The Manual serves as a comprehensive resource tool to enable New York City religious leaders to best serve their congregations and the public as they respond to and recover from disasters.
