You can be first to help when your community has suffered from a natural disaster. With severe weather season upon us, the Red Cross need volunteers to be on the disaster action team. DAT responders drive 90% of our disaster response locally and nation-wide.

Disaster Assessment workers provide disaster relief operation leadership with information about the damage to structures, impacts on the community, weather conditions, and demographics of a disaster-affected community.

Disaster Assessment team members responsibility is collecting information in the field to answer relief operation leadership’s critical information requirements. When the picture this information provides is incomplete, or missing, disaster assessment workers deploy to answer those questions and collect the needed information

Description

Since our founding by Clara Barton on May 21, 1881, the American Red Cross has been dedicated to serving people in need. We received our first congressional charter in 1900 and to this day we are tasked by the federal government with providing services to members of the American armed forces and their families as well as providing disaster relief in the United States and around the world.

Today, as throughout our long history, the Red Cross depends on generous contributions of time, blood, and money from the American public to support our lifesaving services and programs.
