Be our 'Eyes After a Storm:' Join the Community Disaster Assessment Program
Each
year, residents from local communities learn and retrain how to prepare for
major storms, assess damage after disasters, and report that damage to the
Red Cross. It helps the American Red Cross gather a quick, clear picture
of widespread damage in the area, and then provide assistance where it's
needed.
Training is free. Communities are invited to send up to four
representatives: Year-round residents who are physically able to survey and report
damage as soon as safely possible after a storm. Class size is limited. Please
phone, fax, or mail in reservations as soon as possible.
For more information on Disaster Preparedness Education, please call the American Red Cross Polk County Chapter at (863) 294-5941 or e-mail one of the following people:
