The newest branch of the Presbytery of Baltimore's mission was established in 2008 and funded by a partnership grant with New Castle Presbytery and National Capital Presbytery.
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS and RELIEF (DPR) is guided by a committee of medical professionals, public policy experts and dedicated volunteers. DPR defines its mission within a changing environment. Teams of workers respond to medical crises like the recent H1N1 influenza outbreak; coordinate relief efforts like the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast duiring a tumultuous hurricane season; and, offer churches guidance in developing their own crisis preparedness plans. The first, Seasonal Flu: A Guide for Community & Faith-based Organizations & Leaders, is a helpful and easy-to-use resource for faith and community leaders. The second, Faith & Communities Fight Flu, can be used as a bulletin or newsletter insert or on a community bulletin board.
