NYDIS MANUAL FOR NEW YORK CITY RELIGIOUS LEADERS:
Spiritual Care and Mental Health for Disaster Response and Recovery
THE REVEREND STEPHEN HARDING, BCC, STM, EDITOR
This manual was developed by New York Disaster Interfaith Services to help you do several things as individual leaders of houses of worship:
* Prepare yourself and the members of your worshiping community by developing a disaster plan in advance;
* Help you identify the phases of disaster so that you know where you are as things are going on around you;
* Provide you with information about preparation and your role as religious leaders in all phases of disaster;
* Provide you with information and resources that you can call on and use if you need them; and
* Help you to start thinking about what you would do if a disaster happened to your own house of worship or in your community.
The contributors to this manual all have experience in responding to disasters. Some worked as part of the recovery effort for the World Trade Center and/or other disasters; others have extensive experience in working with relief organizations; still others are therapists; others teach; and all write from the experience of 'having been there.' These chapters are the things they have done and that have worked for them.
