National Disaster Interfaiths Network (NDIN)
NDIN is a national network of disaster interfaith organizations working together to reduce disaster-caused human suffering through the exchange of information and cooperative support. As part of their “Be a Ready Congregation” campaign, NDIN created a host of free, downloadable tip sheets offering all-hazards best practices and resource links about disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery – specifically relevant to religious leaders, faith communities and faith-based organizations.
See this list of tip sheets for information on available training:
