Please help us, help your community. If you are interested in helping, please email our Director of Emergency Services . If you are interested in volunteering, please check out our Volunteering Opportunities . All assistance is based upon disaster-caused need, not loss, and is an outright gift financed solely by voluntary contributions of the American people. We accept new members monthly.
Training is held throughout the year in order for members to continue with their disaster education.
Disaster training is free to the public. Often times, a hurricane or tornado touch down and suddenly a community that was thriving hours before is destroyed. The efforts of local disaster volunteers often are quickly dwarfed in comparison to the destruction and number of people affected. It happens all the time. And when it does, the DSHR System fires into action, moving highly trained and experienced Red Cross disaster volunteers into affected area quickly and efficiently.
