A survey that will aid in gathering data to build a strong foundation for the Diocese to respond more efficiently in the wake of a disaster has been uploaded to the internet. The Rev. Canon David Johnson created the survey monkey at the request of the Diocese’s Disaster Preparedness and Response Team.
“The survey may be filled out by anyone and the data received will be used in addition to the work parishes and missions are turning in from the blue book which the Team handed out at convocational meetings during the last few months,” said the Rev. Deacon Carol Spencer, Coordinator of the diocesan team.
The link to the survey is //www.surveymonkey.com/s/BVGDC38. The information on the survey is for use by the Diocese of Mississippi and local parish and mission leaders in disaster areas only.
“We are not trying to turn the Diocese of Mississippi into a disaster relief agency,” said Spencer, “but we should be able to help out where we can and to plug into the work that the usual disaster relief agencies are doing in a prompt and efficient way. The more data we have regarding our people and resources, the better we will accomplish this goal.”
Almost all parishes and missions have received the blue book as team members have made their way across the diocese to convocational meetings. The pink pages in the blue book need to be returned to the diocesan office as soon as possible.
