Disaster
– A word that
brings fear, anxiety, stress and a feeling of hopelessness to those it affects. The
American Red Cross responds to disasters everyday. It is our job to calm the fears,
relieve the stress and anxiety and restore hope to clients as we help them rebuild their
lives.
Whether it is a flood, fire, tornado, hurricane or terrorist attack,
you will find members of the American Red Cross, on the scene assisting our clients with
shelter, food, clothing and other items that will help restore their lives to back to some
normalcy.
There are many opportunities to volunteer in
disaster services. From responding to a fire, flood or other disaster, to working in the
office in a support function, all of these roles are vital and needed to provide the best
service possible to those affected by disaster.
If you are interested in volunteering, WE NEED
YOU!
Get started by attending one of our monthly volunteer orientation
classes. To sign up for a chapter volunteer orientation class or for
