American Red Cross Disaster Action Team Bootcamp

Home fires and other disasters can occur anytime, anyplace. As a Disaster Action Team volunteer, you’ll provide

emotional support, financial assistance, and information to help families begin the process of recovery. After your

initial training, your shifts will include responding to emergencies within 2 hours, night or day, rain or shine, either on

the scene or coordinating remotely to provide immediate compassion and care. With experience and further training

you can take on leadership and response coordination roles to have a wider impact. At the same time, you’ll be

developing skills that you may choose to apply to larger‐scale disaster response efforts with the Red Cross.

Masks must be worn by all participants.
