Faith and Community Based Initiative

Faith and Community Based Organizations are a key ally in helping Americans in need and together represent an integral part of our nation's social service network.

Faith and Community Based Organizations can play a vital role in educating their communities on the importance of preparing for a disaster and by participating in their community's disaster response and recovery efforts.

Please click the links below to find out how your Faith or Community Based Organization can participate in the Faith and Community Based Initiative.

With support from the County of San Diego Office of Emergency Services your Faith or Community Based Organization can become part of a productive coalition of Faith and Community Based Organizations that will work with public agencies to improve the disaster preparedness level of your communities.
