Disaster Relief Volunteer Opportunities
Trained disaster volunteers often start by volunteering on local Red Cross Disaster Action Teams which respond to disasters 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Disaster volunteers who gain local experience also are eligible to serve as part of the Red Cross Disaster Services Human Resources System to be deployed to disasters around the country.

Disaster Action Team (DAT) members are volunteers who respond to single-family fires as assigned by their Disaster Action Team supervisor (DAT Captain).
