Volunteering For The Red Cross Disaster Services?
I’m interested in volunteering for the Disaster Services division of the Red Cross. How is it working for this division? What’s a typical day in the field like? Volunteers need only reply..Thanks!
I’d like to hear the opinions of others that don’t answer the phone at the Red Cross and are non-biased.
I think that it is great that you want to volunteer for the Disater Service branch of the Red Cross.
You won’t find a typical day in the field. It varies from day to day and from emergency/disaster. Lets say you live in an area where there is a lot of tornados. Now lets say you were called out on 3 of these tornados Each time you went out you would have different experiences and different jobs to do. One time you may be helping with search and rescue in the field. Another they may need you at the temporary shelter passing out food and blankets and making phone calls. You have to be committed to being a volunteer with them. When diaster strikes you are going to have to put your family to the side and concentrate on helping other families. You can be called out any time day or night.
I hope that this answered some of your questions. For a more detail description and for qualifications that you may need contact your local chapter of the Red Cross
