More questions to ask: church responsibilities in case of pandemics
Published February 17th, 2007 H5N1 , info sources , preparedness , questions for other students

Planning for a pandemic: Resources for the Church in case of Avian flu is available from the Episcopal Church. I will try to find similar plans, if they exist, from the Orthodox, Moravian, and other churches. Please suggest contacts for these plans in the comments below. Some plans already exist for the other great pandemic we face, HIV/AIDS.

While each church (or synogogue or other religious community) will have its own particular focus, the ethical questions will probably be similar. Even if one isn’t in a religious community, the ethics of pandemic and disaster planning must be addressed. (Remember, Katrina was no Girl Scout).

Other questions to consider:
who cares for the orphans? (see previous, | history |)
can burials be delayed?
are ministers equipped for post-traumatic counselling?

[...] Do you find this valuable?
