National denominations
and church-related agencies work together for the greater benefit of disaster survivors through the CWS Emergency Response
Executive Committee and related Domestic and International Roundtables. The Executive Committee includes representatives of
CWS member denominations who participate in discussions around policy. The committee’s two Roundtables include
representatives of CWS member and non-member denominations who look at disaster response field issues and how to cooperate
in their work.
