What’s the one thing you never travel without on a disaster assignment?

Samantha Taylor, NHQ Communications Senior Program Manager Disaster Public Affairs 

For Red Cross disaster responders, it might be a favorite snack, a lucky hat or a comfy strawberry blanket like Sam’s. Regardless of their go-to items, their ultimate mission is the same on disaster deployment: to support people in need.

Whether you work from home, have weekends free, or can travel across the country, there’s a way for you to make a real impact.

We’re looking for volunteers to:
• Help set up emergency shelters.
• Coordinate logistics for emergency relief supplies.
• Support shelter residents as they move out of shelters.
