Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: American Red Cross

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 1 person is interested

The Red Cross responds to a disaster every eight minutes; house fires are usually the major perpetrators of those emergencies. The Red Cross is looking for passionate individuals to become a Virtual Disaster Action Team (DAT) volunteers. This position is virtual until COVID restrictions are lifted.

Red Cross DAT members are second responders who provide food, shelter, and comfort to individuals who have been affected by home fires and other disasters. DAT responders come to the scene after the fire department, and only provide assistance if agreed to by the affected family.

DAT members are needed throughout Yakima county today!

Requirements:

  • Availability to be "on-call" for four (4) 12-hour shifts each month.
  • Shifts run 8am-8am (day team) and 8am-8am
  • When on-call, you can continue regular activities, but must be ready to respond within an hour if called
Caseworkers are also needed to provide follow-up assistance to clients, helping them get back on their feet and connected with local resources.

Contact: Lynne.Calmus@redcross.org or 509-316-1845
