Each facility can use the results of this selfassessment to evaluate which options for consideration are important to their situation and prioritize as they deem useful based on threat, ability to implement, and cost.  \nSecurity and Safety/Emergency Management  \nThis section refers to the need to designate personnel to create and implement plans and procedures to address security and personnel safety issues and emergencies. Factors that contribute to the effectiveness of security, safety, and emergency management efforts at houses of worship include the designation of a security manager or security committee; volunteer ushers and greeters; existence of security and safety/emergency operations plans; commitment to training and exercises on these plans; engaging with external partners such as first responders and working groups; and mass notification capabilities and crisis communications. These teams are usually comprised of volunteers and can be composed of any members of the house of worship. Some may have a security or safety background such as law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical response, or emergency management, but any member with the interest and desire can be trained for the various roles available. Some organizations hire permanent personnel to fill specific security or safety roles. Houses of worship may use different names for their plans. They may incorporate security elements into a plan that outlines the facility’s approach to operations before, during, and after an emergency, or they may have two separate plans, one focused on security and another focused on safety/emergency operations. Security generally refers to those elements that secure a facility from theft, attack, bomb threat, and similar physical harm to the congregation or facility. Safety and emergency management refers to protection from natural disasters, fires, trips and falls, accidental injuries, and health emergencies such as choking incidents, heart attacks, bee stings, and a wide range of similar events.  \nSecurity and Safety/Emergency Management  \n\n| Question | Very Low | Low | Medium | High | Very High |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1.
