Volunteering with the Tri-County Red Cross Disaster Action Team (DAT) offers an exciting opportunity to go inside the lines during a disaster and work directly with the victims in their most desperate of times. DAT volunteers are there on the scene providing immediate relief to the victims to satisfy their primary needs: food, clothing and shelter.
They work closely with the men and women who put their lives on the line rescuing these victims. Firefighters, police and EMT's all receive Red Cross DAT support including canteen services, victim relief and blood services.
Local disasters happen. Fires, building collapses, floods are all common to our area and can happen at any time. Below is a map of the local disasters our DAT volunteers have responded to since the beginning of 2008.
Joining our Disaster Action Team is fast and easy. Call Victor Webb at 908-756-6414 and make difference to your neighbors in need and change a life today.
