  • American Red Cross Volunteers Needed

    Severe weather-related disasters are becoming more frequent and more intense. We are once again expecting to see a well-above normal wildfire and hurricane season this year. This year’s wildfire season is already very active and dangerous because of the severe drought and dry woodlands across the west. The Red Cross has an urgent need for volunteers who are willing to train now and potentially deploy (14-day commitment) to a Red Cross Disaster Relief Operation. Volunteers are needed for the following roles.

     

    Shelter Support

    Compassionate and committed individuals are needed to support sheltering efforts this disaster season. Shelter volunteers support the day-to-day activities within a shelter which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information or other vital areas within a shelter. Free online training will be provided.

     

    Disaster Health Services

    Are you a licensed healthcare professional? If so, we also have a high need for health care workers to provide assistance and healthcare to shelter residents. Free online training will be provided and you can also obtain your CE credits. Licenses needed include: RN, LPN, LVN, EMT, Paramedic, MD, DO, PA, NP, APRN.
