Imagine being awaken by smoke alarms in the middle of the night. You rush to get your family
out to safety now that your home is engulfed in flames. You’re now standing outside of your
house in your pajamas in the middle of the night with nowhere to go. Who do you call? The
American Red Cross! On the other end of the phone is the Disaster Duty Officer ready to help
you during one of the worst days of your life.
What is it?
The Disaster Duty Officer is a lifeline to temporary assistance during a disaster. The Duty
Officer is responsible for dispatching Red Cross volunteers called Disaster Action Team (DAT)
members to meet with victims of home fires, and other disasters, to provide temporary relief
such as funds for a hotel room, food, and clothing.
