Four pathways
01
Readiness starts with people, then grows outward.
Prepared individuals strengthen their households. Prepared households strengthen their churches and organizations. Prepared churches and organizations strengthen the neighborhoods around them.
RESET Readiness & Resilience connects all four, so preparation done at home and in the pew adds up to a community that knows where help is and who can serve.
02
Free reports, checklists and worksheets.
Start with the free disaster readiness reports from CHURCH FORWARD: Real Conversations. Each one includes fillable inventories, service-verification worksheets and a first-week action plan.
03
Know where you stand.
Use the assessments that are ready today, and see what is still being built.
04
Bring RESET to your community.
Churches, community organizations and local leaders can apply for Cohort One or organize a RESET cohort in their own city or community.
