Emergency Preparedness: Resources
There are many resources to help congregations become safer. Sanctuary Congregations should think through any trainings with governmental departments that currently work with ICE, particularly if the resource requires signing up for membership, such as an online workshop or DHS staff learning building-related information about Sanctuary congregations.
Church Mutual has made most of its resources open to the public so you do not have to be insured by them to reach these resources on their website:
