The Health, Safety and Security Committee of the HNM Pastoral Council is updating policies and procedures for emergencies in the church, gymnasium, chapel, parish center building and parish house (rectory). If you have special skills, training and experience in coping with medical emergencies (doctors, nurses, medical technicians), fire emergencies (firemen and women), or security breaches (police officers, military personnel), we invite you to join the HNM Immediate Responders. If you are willing to use your skills during emergencies at HNM, and could attend occasional training or refresher sessions, please call or text Tom Faranda (914) 924-2061, or email Maureen Poh Fitzpatrick (mbp9@columbia.edu), and tell us that you would step up and serve the HNM community in those potentially life-saving minutes before Croton Police, Fire or Emergency Medical Services can arrive and take over. Training sessions are anticipated later this year.
