Institutional Security

Faith-based and nongovernmental organizations extend far beyond faith spiritual care and health and human services; they are an important component of a collective and cooperative safety and security effort. Faith-based and nongovernmental organizations own and operate infrastructure that remains vulnerable to attack, provides direct support and response to natural and manmade disasters, and provides vital services to tens of millions of Americans everyday. These include vast networks of organizations and operations with facilities, capabilities, and processes on a massive scale incorporated into preventive and preparedness efforts. During times of crisis and other events, it is neighborhood congregations and community organizations - the very fabric of America - that are best positioned to serve as critical partners in recovery and resiliency efforts.
