Every day people are forced from their homes due to disasters. Single and multi-family fires account for 90% of disaster responses for the American Red Cross. Compassionate and committed Disaster Action Team (DAT) volunteers help those families affected.

Respond to families affected by home fires, flooding or other local disasters to provide resources, comfort and hope to those who have been affected.

Be the beacon of hope to families who are likely having the worst day of their lives.

What Our Volunteers Are Saying

• “I’m retired and was looking for a way to help in my local community. I love that I found the Red Cross because being able to help someone in one of their greatest times of need is a feeling like no other.” ~Charlie V.
• “I watched the Red Cross help my Mom when she had a house fire and I knew I wanted to help giveback anyway I could. Now I am able to pay it forward for my Mom and our family.” ~Laqueesha J.
• “I may not have money to give, but I have time.” ~Taylor W.
• “It’s a wonderful feeling being able to help someone affected by a house fire, who literally, may only have the clothes on their back.” ~Julie M.
