If you have three weeks at a time to spare and want to do something meaningful, you just might be interested in becoming a Red Cross volunteer. This page will educate you on the ways that you can help those in need because of a disaster, like the hurricanes in Florida or the Ice Storm in Arkansas. This page will provide you with information about the types of services that you can be trained to provide and links to pages that will let you know when the classes will be held. There will also be links to other Red Cross sites that provide information on current disaster events.
Disasters know no boundaries and can happen anywhere.
A hurricane hits or a tornado touches down and suddenly a community that was thriving hours before is devastated. The efforts of local disaster volunteers often are quickly dwarfed in comparison to the destruction and number of people affected. It can be five blocks or 5,000 miles from your home. It is an opportunity to have more, do more, and be more on a disaster. . The DSHR System, however, isn't for everyone. .
