What Will You Do When the Lights Go Out?

Kart, this just came to my attention from a source I trust - (which is why I’m posting it without the corroborating link. I want the info out there asap, and I’m running late!) Thanks for all you do:

· The House of Representatives bill HR-6566 is called the “MASS FATALITY PLANNING AND RELIGIOUS CONSIDERATIONS ACT.”

· If passed, it would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require the administrator of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to provide guidance and coordination for mass fatality planning, and for other purposes.

· This bill was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Homeland Security.

A BILL

To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to require the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide guidance and coordination for mass fatality planning, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘Mass Fatality Planning and Religious Considerations Act’.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:

(1) Emergency preparedness often plans for how to prepare and provide for survivors of a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster, but fails to plan for how to prepare for and respond to mass fatalities that result from such an incident.

(2) Funeral homes, cemeteries, and mortuaries could be overwhelmed should mass fatalities arise from a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster.

(3) Different religions have different customs surrounding death; for example, the Jewish and Muslim religions call for burial of the deceased not later than 48 hours after death.

SEC. 3. PREPAREDNESS FOR MASS FATALITIES RESULTING FROM A NATURAL DISASTER, ACT OF TERRORISM, OR OTHER MAN-MADE DISASTER.
Section 504 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 314) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:

‘(c) Preparedness for Mass Fatalities- In carrying out this section, the Administrator shall provide guidance to and coordinate with appropriate individuals, including representatives from different communities, private sector businesses, non-profit organizations, and religious organizations, to prepare for and respond to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster that results in mass fatalities.’.

For those who pray, please consider adding this bill to your prayer list.

In the name of Jesus, we ask that our Father the Ancient of Days and the Lord Jesus Christ take command over:

· The House of Representatives bill HR-6566 is called the “Mass Fatality Planning and Religious Considerations Act.”

· The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Homeland Security and their considerations of this bill.

· The exposure of any negative agendas or motivations behind this bill.

· The stopping of any plans for man-made disasters, manipulation of any kind, acts of terrorism, or methods of population control.
* The will of God in this entire situation.
Amen
