Every day people are forced from their homes due to fires, storms and other disasters. Single- and multi-family fires account for 90% of disaster responses. You can be part of a team that helps and responds to over 60,000 emergencies every year. From offering a caring and compassionate ear, to meeting the disaster-caused needs of individuals and households, such as lodging and clothing, and connecting them with long term recovery services, our volunteers ensure that families don’t have to face tough times alone.
If you are team-oriented and want to make a difference, please consider joining the Disaster Action Team and apply now. We supply all the training you need.
*Note: Positions will vary based on location.
When disasters strike and people are displaced from their home, you can be the shelter in the storm. Shelter volunteers work directly with residents to ensure their basic needs are met as well as help them access additional services. If you are a calm and compassionate person, this is the opportunity for you.
Join today and start your training. This way you can be ready to respond when the next major disaster strikes.
