The American Red Cross of Southeast Missouri and Northeast Arkansas needs local disaster response volunteers and will be hosting a training for anyone interes stted to attend. Remember our recent tornado event? Well, it's the Disaster Action Team (DAT) serves as the first, on-the-scene, Red Cross contact at the site of a disaster. While not considered first responders in the technical sense, DAT members are typically the first people at a disaster scene who provide comfort and direct assistance to help those who have been affected as they begin the recovery process.
The Disaster Action Team training will take place on September 28 from 9am -4:30pm at the Red Cross chapter office, 2416 S. Madison St. in Jonesboro. This training is for anyone who would like to help locally respond to disasters like home fires, floods, or tornadoes. Twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, Red Cross volunteers are there to help people who have been affected by a disaster.
If you are interested in registering for the course, please email Tammi Sanderhoff, tammi.sanderhoff@redcross.org
Registrations must be received by noon on Friday, September 27.
