| | How can Faith-Based and Community-Based Organizations (FBCOs) assist people who rely on public, community, or congregational assistance during an influenza pandemic?
Category: Planing and Response Questions
Answer:Get to know which of your neighbors, co-workers, employees, volunteers, and members or clients might need extra assistance during a severe influenza pandemic. Work with other congregations and community organizations that have a great deal of experience in working with under-served communities. For example, those who oversee homeless shelters and apartment complexes for low-income senior citizens are already providing housing for the poor and developing practices to reduce the spread of infection within these facilities. Plans are also being made about how to assist those who live alone, those single parents who may need help caring for themselves or their children, and people who are mentally or physically impaired. If this is not your organization’s main area of expertise, you may still be able to contribute by working with more experienced organizations.
