The Church’s objective in establishing emergency communication is to ensure that critical information can be received and conveyed. Church leaders, members, and civic authorities rely on these crucial messages and communication channels before, during, and after a disaster.

This includes:

  1. The transfer of information and instructions from area, mission, and stake leaders to ward leaders, missionaries, and members.

  2. Reports on the status of missionaries, Church members, and properties.

  3. Plans for responding to needs among Church members and the community.

  4. Coordination of relief efforts with civil authorities and other relief agencies.

Our responsibility is to pass information and requests accurately and in a timely manner. We do not modify the traffic or make any ecclesiastical decisions regarding the same.

We are only activated when requested, but sometimes we realize that common communication channels are affected or unavailable, so we reach out to leadership to inform them that we are available to provide communications assistance.
