    What is this role?

    Every day, the American Red Cross assists people who face disasters.

Activities within a shelter may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information, or other areas within a shelter.

    Why is the role important?

    Our disaster shelter response teams are there to provide care and comfort to our communities while displaced during disasters. Natural disasters can strike at any moment, and we are working to prepare our communities in case that happens.
