Religious leaders are among the first and most trusted sources of risk-communication and crisis leadership; not only in houses of worship and faith communities but in the neighborhoods and communities they serve. They have a central role both when disasters strike and in recovery. National Disaster Interfaiths Network offers current and emergency news, updates on best practices, current resources, and conference/training information.  For more information and to pick up their Disaster Tip Sheets for U.S. Religious Leaders go to NDIN: Disaster Tip Sheets for U.S. Religious Leaders
