The Structure of This Book
The second section focuses on disasters as they unfold. The size of a disaster serves as a variable as to the scope of issues that will confront you. We have devoted more than one chapter to some time periods in order to address the needs of you and your faith community for local, regional, and national disasters. We also recognize the multiyear impact of disasters and have developed this book with the intent that it be a resource you can reference over a long period of time or at a single time of urgent need.
The third section of the book focuses on issues you will face throughout the course of a disaster that will not arise on a set timeline. These topics range from compassion fatigue to how best to pro-vide spiritual care at different stages of human development, recover-ing bodies in the eld and working in a morgue environment, and working with and providing spiritual care to first responders.
