Abstract
The Field Guide is not a substitute for developing religious literacy. Rather, it makes the case for why religious literacy is an essential skill to be employed by the government and local provider agencies supplied with public and private funds when engaging faith communities in helping to solve problems and build a more disaster resilient nation. The Guide also provides suggestions, best practices, and guidance on how to approach faith communities, religious leaders, and faith-based non-profits to build durable, institutional relationships, and develop sustainable, faith-based preparedness and response programs. It makes a strong case for the establishment of, at minimum, a highly religiously literate and competent dedicated government liaison to national, state, or local faith communitiessimilar to staffing to address populations with disabilities or access and functional needs.
