FAME Emergency Response Plan Meeting
A Special Announcement from Dennis Joyner, Pro Ten Trustee Board
Saturday, February 8, 2020
10:00 a.m -12:00 p.m.
Greetings Family! I pray that this missive finds you and yours in the very best of health and spirits! We last met back in October 2019 to discuss and further refine the FAME Emergency Response Plan. The updated version based upon that last meeting is attached.
We now need to reconvene along with those who have volunteered to serve as members of the new FAME Security Team. The meeting will be held at the Church on Saturday, 8 February, 1000-1200. We will meet in the Sanctuary and will walk-through and exercise the plan to ensure that in a crisis, roles and responsibilities are clearly understood and thoroughly documented. We will have a mock “Active Shooter” Incident and mock “Medical Emergency” to practice how we would respond to these events. We will update the FAME Emergency Response Plan as a result of the mock exercise and will have a follow-on practice session in March 2020, to continue to refine the plan.
Once those practice sessions have been conducted and we are comfortable with executing the plan, I propose that we schedule a couple of Sunday to conduct an actual test of the plan at the conclusion of the Worship Service, to ensure that the general membership and congregants know what to expect in an emergency. With the approval of Pastor, congregants will be informed at the beginning of service and given the option to participate in a drill at the conclusion of the worship service.
I welcome your advice, recommendations and thoughts in advance of the meeting, and hope that you will be able to join us. I will send out a meeting reminder in advance. God bless!
