HOWalert and Emergency Preparedness Resources

Hurricane Season began on June 1. To help parishioners prepare for an emergency, we want to share this four-page reference sheet, prepared by the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens. Download a copy and keep it handy as part of your household’s emergency disaster preparedness plan.

Emergency Disaster Planning Resource 2018 (4-page pdf) includes:
● Sheet for recording essential emergency phone numbers
● Go Bag and Emergency Supply Kits checklist
● NYC Emergency Notification Resources

HOWalert = NYC House of Worship Alert system

The Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response in NYC has partnered with New York Disaster Interfaith Services to create HOWalert as a free emergency notification system.
