Disaster Response Spontaneous Volunteers
Spontaneous volunteers are those who want to fill an urgent, temporary need of a current wide-scale public disaster relief operation. We do not have a current need for spontaneous volunteers, but when we do, information on how to help will be posted here.
Disaster Response
Red Cross volunteers are the first to the scene of a disaster and provide immediate relief assistance, such as shelter, food, and clothing, to people displaced as a result of a disaster, as well as follow-up services in the wake of a disaster.
There are many areas of service within the Red Cross Disaster Response service area, each an invaluable asset in time of disaster or emergency. During your volunteer orientation, you will receive information about what is required for training and the needed level of commitment for the Disaster Response Team. Each team within Disaster Response requires different levels of training and availability – so be sure to consider your time constraints when selecting a Disaster Response area to pursue.
Disaster Service Teams Include:
- Disaster Action Team Members (DAT)
- Client Casework Volunteers
- Health Services Volunteers
- Mental Health Services
- Shelter Operation Volunteers
- Partner Services Volunteers
- Staff Services Volunteers
- Disaster Assessment Volunteers
