EMERGENCY RESPONSE RESOURCES

 

  • American Red Cross: There are currently 2 types of volunteer needs that they would like to share:
    • Their Disaster Action Team volunteers are critically important, not just to the Red Cross but to our community. These volunteers are part of a team that responds in-person to local emergencies (primarily home fires). They not only provide comfort, hope, and compassion to impacted households, but also connections to Red Cross and community resources. This includes financial assistance for lodging and referrals to Healthcare, Mental Health, and Spiritual Care services.
      • Volunteer disaster responders are asked to be on-call 6 shifts per month. Each shift is approximately 8-12 hours. While volunteers may not always get dispatched during their on-call shift, they do need to be available for in-person response should something happen.
    • Disaster Spiritual Care volunteers assist disaster clients to utilize their own spiritual resources, values, and faith during crisis, regardless of faith tradition. The volunteers would participate in local responses, such as:
      • Providing support to families who have experienced a home fire
      • Facilitate long-term recovery for clients – providing spiritual and emotional support, and connection to local resources
      • Assist in developing partnerships with local faith-based organizations
      • Are involved in preparedness efforts
        • For more information on either of these engagement opportunities, please contact Amy Korb via email HERE or by phone at 704.221.8862
