OBJECTIVES: After Hurricane Ida, faith-based organizations were vital to disaster response. However, this community resource remains understudied. This exploratory study examines local faith-based organizational involvement in storm recovery by evaluating response activities, prevalence and desire for formal disaster education, coordination with other organizations, effect of storm damage on response, and observations for future response.
METHODS: An exploratory survey was administered to community leaders throughout the Bayou Region of Louisiana consisting of questions regarding demographics, response efforts, coordination with other organizations, formal disaster training, the impact of storm damage on ability to respond, and insights into future response.
RESULTS: Faith-based organizations are active during storm response. There is a need and desire for formal disaster education. Many organizations experienced storm damage but continued serving their community. Other emerging themes included: importance of clear communications, building stronger relationships with other organizations prior to a disaster, and coordination of resources.
CONCLUSIONS: Faith-based organizations serve an important role in disaster response. Though few have formal training, they are ready and present in the area of impact, specifically in hurricane response. In the midst of organizational and personal damage, these organizations respond quickly and effectively to provide a necessary part of the disaster management team.
