Every year, fires, floods, tornadoes, and other natural disasters randomly strike thousands of families, sometimes near your home. Lives are changed forever.
Families lose homes, and worse.
While we can't change history, Red Cross disaster volunteers make it a little easier for disaster victims to get from today to tomorrow. A Red Cross disaster volunteer's first assignment c ould be putting worried families in touch with flood victims, reading to children in a temporary shelter, helping cook dinner for a hundred displaced families, or assisting families in their communities who suffer the devastation of a fire. With experience, even more assignments become available. You may never work harder . . . or get dirtier . . . or get paid less.
