Be There When Your Community Needs You Most!
When disaster strikes, a compassionate neighbor can make all the difference. The American Red Cross is seeking dedicated volunteers to join our Disaster Action Team (DAT) and provide immediate support to individuals and families affected by local emergencies, such as home fires.
As a DAT Volunteer, you'll:
- Respond to local disasters alongside trained Red Cross team members.
- Provide comfort, compassion, and emotional support to families in crisis.
- Help connect individuals with emergency assistance and recovery resources.
- Work collaboratively with fellow volunteers to support your community.
No prior disaster response experience is necessary! The Red Cross provides training and ongoing support to help you feel confident and prepared.
Make a meaningful difference right where you live. Join the Red Cross Disaster Action Team and help your neighbors when they need it most!
