Account
In the event of an emergency, ward and stake councils are responsible for accounting for each missionary and member within their areas. They should pay special attention to those who may need additional help (wheelchair assistance, oxygen, special medications, and so on).
This accounting may be done through ministering brothers and sisters.
Assess
Assess missionary and member needs, damage to Church property, and general conditions in the community.
Respond
Work in conjunction with civil authorities and relief organizations to supply basic provisions and services—such as food, clothing, sanitation, medical assistance, and temporary shelter to those who have suffered damage to homes or belongings, emotional trauma, injury, or loss of livelihood.
Report
Report the condition of:
- Missionaries and members (as well as their locations).
- Member housing.
- Church properties.
- The community (including roads, public utilities, commerce, facilities, and infrastructure).
These needs should be reported through priesthood channels to the bishop, stake president, and area leadership.
