AMERICAN RED CROSS DISASTER ACTION TEAM
The Disaster Action Team (DAT) responds to local disasters, providing immediate emotional support, financial assistance, and information to help clients begin their recovery process. Working as part of a team, they follow established procedures to ensure safety and continuity, maintain communication with team members and leadership, and assess the need for additional resources. Specialists complete client case management tasks, attend team meetings, and collaborate effectively in a dynamic environment. They must handle time-sensitive issues, maintain flexibility, and work independently while adhering to Red Cross principles and guidelines.
Time commitment expectations: three (3) 6-hour shifts/month.
