Every day people are forced from their homes due to disasters. Single and multi-family home fires account for 90% of disaster responses for the American Red Cross. Compassionate and committed Disaster Action Team (DAT) volunteers help those families affected.
Respond in-person to your neighbors who have been affected by home fires, flooding or other local disasters. As a Red Cross volunteer, you will be able to help your neighbors and their families by providing resources, comfort and hope.
Be the beacon of hope to families who are likely having the worst day of their lives.
Requirements
- 18 years or older with a valid United States driver’s license
- Training provided both online courses and shadow with experienced volunteers
