Disaster Action Team (DAT) members are the first Red Cross representatives at local disasters - especially house fires. The DAT provides for the immediate needs of clients affected by disaster, such as food, clothing, medications, and shelter. DAT members work as a team and interact closely with clients, first responders, and Red Cross staff. DAT volunteers are on call to respond to events outside of business hours and on weekends - most volunteers are scheduled to be on call for one week at a time.
