Notes

Community Arise is a groundbreaking program that brings major
faith community domestic disaster training under a common
umbrella curriculum.

The Community Arise curriculum is appropriate for a wide range of audiences: potential volunteers; faith-based and secular community groups; disaster response groups (long-term recovery, pre-disaster planning, or immediate post disaster); and denominational and community decision-makers.

This website provides access to the materials available through
Community Arise.

* If you want to know about disasters
* If you are responsible for training
* If you want to volunteer

Community Arise is being developed by Church World Service (CWS), a non-governmental organization and coordinating agency for 36 U.S. Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox denominations, along with American Baptist Churches, Catholic Charities (U.S.A.), Christian Reformed World Relief Committee, Church of the Brethren, Lutheran Disaster Response, Mennonite Disaster Services, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, United Church of Christ, and United Methodist Committee on Relief.

Each participating organization brings its own special expertise and experience in disaster ministry to the project. This cooperative, collaborative, and coordinated training program is a way to both expand capacity and conserve resources.

By having all their training materials uniform, up-to-date, and originating from the same source, the curriculum developers are seeking to improve the quality of disaster ministry training throughout the religious community and deliver instruction with far greater effectiveness and efficiency.
