Help People in Your Community When They Need it Most
Red Cross volunteers are the first to the scene of a disaster and provide immediate relief assistance, such as shelter, food, and clothing, to people displaced as a result of a disaster, as well as follow-up services in the wake of a disaster.
There are many areas of service within the Red Cross Disaster Response service area, each an invaluable asset in time of disaster or emergency. During your volunteer orientation, you will receive information about what is required for training and the needed level of commitment for the Disaster Response Team. Each team within Disaster Response requires different levels of training and availability – so you have the flexibility to find a way to help that fits your availability.
