Disaster report-in phone number



The World Church has established a toll-free number for persons in the  
United States to call in the event that there is a disaster in their  
area.  This is specifically useful in the case that it is necessary to  
evacuate and find shelter. The person calling in will leave  
information concerning their whereabouts and safety, and local leaders  
will be able to check the message system to check on the location and  
welfare of members and friends of the church.

The call in number is 1-800-825-2806, extension 1212.  Please remind  
members and friends to keep the information at hand in case of need.  
This disaster report-in number is the direct result a request for the  
International Headquarters to assist pastors and mission centers  
leaders in ascertaining that members and friends of the church are  
safe in the event of a disaster.

A person in the Presiding Bishopric Office will answer calls to the  
extension listed, when possible, and monitor messages left at other  
times, and will then make leaders in the field aware that persons have  
called in reporting on their whereabouts and well-being. This will  
allow leaders to maintain contact and respond to specific needs as  
they arise.

It is important that people have this information available, and that  
they know to call in when a disaster has happened or is imminent. For  
that reason it will be important to remind members and friends from to  
time of this contact and support.
