Recently the local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) website featured a Regional Disaster Coordination Center (RDCC) video showing some of the services that were offered during recent storms through the American Red Cross of the National Capital Area.
Take a few minutes to view the Regional Disaster Coordination Center (RDCC) video.
If you are interested in disaster response, training, public awareness, making a difference in people's lives and want to get your hands dirty, then you should take a few minutes and consider volunteering through your local Red Cross Chapter.
From a local fire with residents displaced to a major disaster, the Red Cross is there!
Many chapters offer DAT (Disaster Action Team) Camp training, which covers:
- Fulfilling Our Mission
- EIS Orientation
- Mass Care
- Client Casework
- Shelter Operations
- Shelter Simulation
Consider getting trained, volunteering and responding through an organization where it all started.
American Red Cross
Unlike other organizations that might take months or years before your training is put to use, gain skills through the Red Cross that you can put to use right away!
