DUTY OFFICERS work with local authorities to determine Red Cross response to local disasters, immediately dispatching volunteer teams and resources while providing off-site support for in-field teams and personnel. Remote/virtual volunteer opportunity can be performed from home after in-field experience and training.

  • Ensure response teams have tools, knowledge and resources needed to provide disaster relief services.
  • Sign-up for on-call shifts (minimum one 6-hour shift/week.)
  • Demonstrate leadership, coordination and communication skills during potentially stressful situations.
  • Complete training requirements within 90 days of onboarding, keeping current with all procedures and attending monthly meetings.

Safety First! Our need for volunteers is constant and our guidelines reflect the latest CDC safety recommendations and follow the national and local government laws. COVID-19 vaccination is required for in-person volunteer roles.
