Pre-Holiday Safety & Security Virtual Workshop for Houses of Worship

Designed specifically for Houses of Worship, this free webinar will cover online safety and facility security during the busy holiday season

The Pennsylvania Office of Homeland Security is dedicated to ensuring the safety of our faith-based communities by promoting prevention, partnership, preparedness, and community resilience.

Designed specifically for Houses of Worship, this webinar will cover two important areas of seasonal security:

• Online Safety During the Holiday Shopping Season: Learn how to recognize and avoid common cyber threats, scams, and online risks that increase during the busy holiday shopping season.
• Facility and Personal Security for Holiday Gatherings: Explore ways to prepare your buildings for holiday services, events, and gatherings. With larger crowds, increased attendance, and more open public access, the holiday season presents unique security challenges for Houses of Worship.

Gain practical insights and strategies to help protect your organization, its people, and its facilities throughout the holiday season.
