Worship Security Academy’s Post

In today's evolving security landscape, collaboration between nonprofits and local police departments is more essential than ever. By working closely with law enforcement, nonprofits can develop tailored security strategies that address their unique challenges while benefiting from the expertise and resources of local authorities. This partnership strengthens preparedness, enhances rapid response capabilities, and fosters a safer environment for staff, volunteers, and the communities they serve. At the Nonprofit Security Awareness Forum (NSAF), we emphasize the importance of these collaborations, encouraging nonprofits to proactively engage with their local police departments to create comprehensive security plans that keep everyone safe. #nsaf #nonprofitsecurityawarenessforum

An update on our actions following the #floods and landslides in #nepal. We'll be blunt, the situation is dire, with death tolls exceeding 200 and widespread destruction. Our OSOC Trustees spoke to Nirajan, who leads our Homework Club there. Thankfully, all #children in the club are safe. But many of their homes (huts) are damaged. Food supplies have been washed away. Clothes and mattresses are soaked through. In response, we've sent some funds from our reserves to help replace lost food 🍲 It's a small step but critical for immediate relief. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as we can. This crisis highlights how vulnerable communities can be severely affected by natural disasters. Yet, it also shows the importance of swift action and support during such times. Every effort counts when lives are at stake and futures hang in balance. Through this experience, we aim to strengthen our resolve to aid those in need swiftly. And ensure that no child or family feels abandoned during crises like these. #EmergencyRelief #childrenscharity #FloodRelief

Whaling Fishing Email from Malicious Actors: The increase of supply chain attacks (where a supplier or partner organization’s network is compromised in order to gain access to the target area) has been well documented. However, recent whaling attacks have used easily accessible information on suppliers or partners to create whaling emails which look legitimate. If an organization advertises partners such as charities, law firms, policy institute or academic, they should be aware that they may receive emails from malicious actors disguised as the trusted partners.

Charging for search and rescue (SAR) services is a contentious topic in the outdoor recreation community. While it is understandable that Kauai County, HI is considering a bill to cover SAR costs, implementing a fee of $1000 per hour could have unintended consequences. Charging for SAR services may deter individuals from seeking help in emergency situations due to the financial burden. This could potentially lead to more risky situations and increased danger for those in need of assistance. Additionally, this has shown it places SAR personal at greater risk also. Instead of charging individuals for SAR, it may be more effective to focus on education and prevention programs that promote responsible outdoor behavior. This could help reduce the need for rescues and ensure a safer environment for all outdoor enthusiasts. https://lnkd.in/gYK9cudh @RecreationLaw #SAR #Search_Rescue #BoycottNH #NoChargeforRescue #NoChargeforSAR #RecLaw #RecreationLaw
