Volunteer: Join our Disaster Action Team and provide disaster relief to neighbors in need

Disaster Action Team Member
Respond to local disaster scenes to meet the needs of those affected by disasters such as providing shelter and food and other Red Cross services.

Most of the 60,000 emergencies that the Red Cross responds to each year are local, personal disasters like home fires. They may not make the news, but we know they are just as devastating to the families affected. Trained and available, Disaster Action Team volunteers are ready to respond to these emergencies, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. From offering a shoulder to cry on, to meeting any immediate needs for shelter or supplies, to connecting people with long term recovery services, our volunteers ensure that families don’t have to face tough times alone.

Disaster Action Team volunteers help local families cope with emergencies.

Home fires and other disasters can occur any time, any place. As a Disaster Action Team volunteer, you’ll provide emotional support, financial assistance, and information to help families begin the process of recovery. After your initial training, your shifts will include responding to emergencies within 2 hours, night or day, rain or shine, either on the scene or coordinating remotely to provide immediate compassion and care. With experience and further training you can take on leadership and response coordination roles to have a wider impact. At the same time, you’ll be developing skills that you may choose to apply to larger-scale disaster response efforts with the Red Cross.

REQUIRED TRAINING
(all training provided by Red Cross)
* Orientation to the American Red Cross
* On the job Disaster Services Training, Psychological First Aid, and others
* Able to respond reliably when scheduled to be on call
* Must have a valid driver's license and/or a timely, reliable way to get to the scene

Ready to Make a Difference? Here's How to Get Started!

Go to https://volunteerconnection.redcross.org/?nd=lead&a=74703&h=158&p=1359660 to complete our online application. It takes less than 10 minutes! A member of our team will get in touch. Taking the time for a personal conversation enables us to match you with a role that will be both meaningful and enjoyable. We’ll provide all necessary training to ensure you can be successful in your volunteer role.

Volunteer: Heroes Assemble! Health Professionals needed to provide Red Cross care during disasters

Are you a licensed health care professional? Get prepared now to help people in disaster shelters.

Due to being in the midst of an active wildfire season and the complexities of COVID-19, the Red Cross needs thousands of volunteers to care for people when disasters strike.

What is this role?

We need volunteers who can work in emergency shelters to help assess people’s health and provide hands-on care in alignment with their professional licensure (RN and LPN/LVN). We also need volunteers who can provide care as delegated by a licensed nurse in shelters; this could include assisting with activities of daily living, personal assistance services, providing health education, and helping to replace medications, durable medical equipment, or consumable medical supplies.

Daily observation and health screening for COVID-19-like illness among shelter residents may also be required. We have both associate and supervisory level opportunities available. If you are an RN, LPN, LVN, APRN, NP, EMT, paramedic, MD/DO, or PA with an active, current, and unencumbered license, this is a role for you. Ancillary roles are available locally for Certified Nursing Assistants, Certified Home Health Aides, student nurses, and medical students. RNs supervise all clinical tasks.

Why is the role important?

Our wildfire shelter response teams are there to provide care and comfort to our communities while displaced during disasters. As wildfire season approaches, we have altered our response methods to abide by the guidelines established by our local public health departments and the CDC to best protect the safety of our clients, volunteers, and staff during COVID-19. Natural disasters can strike at any moment, and we are working to prepare our communities in case that happens.

Requirements:

Have an active license in one of the following: Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Paramedic, Medical Doctor (MD), Doctor of Osteopathy (DO), Physician Assistant (PA), Nurse Practitioner (NP), Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) Ability to complete online training - 6 hours Attend 1 shelter team update virtual meeting per month Flexible availability (preferably during Wildfire season June-November) Minimum of 5 days working 4-, 6- or 12-hour shifts during a two-week period during a disaster response
