Time Commitment: On‑call; 12 hour shift based on
availability
Location: Local community response
Be there when it matters most. As a Disaster Action Team (DAT) Responder, you help individuals and families begin their path to recovery after local disasters—such as home fires—by providing care, connection, and compassion during some of their hardest moments.
When first responders secure the scene, the Red Cross focuses on the people impacted.
What You’ll Do:
- Respond locally as part of a 2‑person team, typically within 2 hours of a call
- Meet with individuals or families impacted by disaster
- Conduct an intake to understand immediate needs
- Connect clients to additional Red Cross support, including mental, spiritual, and physical health resources
- Offer calm, compassionate support during a crisis
Why This Role Matters:
In the aftermath of disaster, people need more than resources—they need reassurance, dignity, and a clear next step. Your presence helps turn chaos into care and helps families move forward with support behind them.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Make a direct, meaningful impact in your own community
- Be part of a trusted, mission‑driven response team
- Training and support provided
- Flexible, on‑call service with powerful purpose
Join a team that shows up when hope is needed most.
Reach out today and help your community begin the road to recovery.
