Upcoming FEMA Drills Involve Community Groups And Faith Based OrganizationsBrandon Turbeville The mission behind Be Ready Sunday is to engage faith based organizations from across the United States to take the time to develop and test a Fire Evacuation Plan for their house of worship. The Be Ready Sunday initiative has three easy to follow steps that will ensure your house of worship is prepared in the event a fire should occur during worship service. The Formidable Footprint exercise series has been developed in accordance with Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) protocols. The objective of the exercise series is for CERTs, Neighborhood Watch Programs, Neighborhood Associations, Community / Faith Based Organizations, Citizen Corps, Fire Corps and others to work as a team to become better prepared for the next disaster their community may face. In March of this year [2006] the Pastor, who we shall refer to as Pastor Revere, was invited to attend a meeting of his local FEMA chapter which circulated around preparedness for a potential bio-terrorist attack, any natural disaster or a nationally declared emergency. The FEMA directors told the Pastors who attended that it was their job to help implement FEMA and Homeland Security directives in anticipation of any of these eventualities. The first directive was for Pastors to preach to their congregations Romans 13, the bible passage often taken out of context that was used by Hitler to hoodwink Christians into supporting him, in order to teach them to obey the government when martial law is declared. If martial law were enacted here at home, like depicted in the movie The Siege, easing public fears and quelling dissent would be critical. And thats exactly what the Clergy Response Team helped accomplish in the wake of Katrina. Dr. Durell Tuberville serves as chaplain for the Shreveport Fire Department and the Caddo Sheriffs Office. Tuberville said of the clergy teams mission, the primary thing that we say to anybody is, lets cooperate and get this thing over with and then well settle the differences once the crisis is over.' Such clergy response teams would walk a tight-rope during martial law between the demands of the government on the one side, versus the wishes of the public on the other. In a lot of cases, these clergy would already be known in the neighborhoods in which theyre helping to diffuse that situation, assured Sandy Davis. He serves as the director of the Caddo-Bossier Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. For the clergy team, one of the biggest tools that they will have in helping calm down the public or to obey the law is the Bible itself, specifically Romans 13. Dr. Tuberville elaborated, because the governments established by the Lord, you know. And, thats what we believe in the Christian faith. Thats whats stated in the scripture. With the recent lockdown (aka Martial Law) of Boston, Massachusetts, the increasing militarization of police, and growing plans for nationwide martial law in the event of a natural disaster, war, economic collapse, or terrorist attack, it would be well advised for all spectators to pay greater attention to the further encroachment on their daily lives by government agencies like FEMA and the DHS. The snitch culture is a hallmark of every despotic nation in history, as is the infiltration of citizen community and religious groups that exist in order to facilitate it.
