Empowering Preparedness: A Proactive Approach to Community Safety

On September 24th, the Resilience, Identity, Support, and Empowerment (R.I.S.E.) at I.M.A.M. held a professional development session focused on safety awareness and preparedness. The session, led by a Michigan State Police Trooper, offered practical tips to help individuals stay calm, think clearly, and make informed decisions in unexpected situations.

A follow-up session was also provided for educators and students at I.Q.R.A. and al-Murtada Academy, introducing age-appropriate ways to understand safety and preparedness both at school and in daily life.

These efforts reflect I.M.A.M.’s ongoing commitment to fostering a sense of security, confidence, and readiness within the community. By promoting awareness rather than fear, such trainings empower individuals to respond to challenges with knowledge, composure, and care.

Ultimately, preparedness brings peace of mind—because safety grows stronger when built on understanding, cooperation, and trust.
