Help those in need from the comfort of your own home!

Red Cross is seeking volunteers to be a part of their volunteer dispatch team. Disaster Dispatch Team volunteers receive calls and details from the local Emergency Management Service (911) about local disasters including home fires.

They alert Red Cross’s Disaster Action Team (DAT) who respond to provide emotional support, financial assistance, and information to help families begin the process of recovery. Duty Officers provide support to the DAT team throughout the response. All training is provided by Red Cross.

Qualifications:

  • Must have access to technology and be able to volunteer remotely from home
  • Leadership and Communication Skills
  • Ability to remotely monitor and track details for DAT responses
  • Ability to prioritize multiple tasks in complex and stressful situations
