Albany County Emergency Management is hosting the American Red Cross for a Disaster Action Team (DAT) training this Saturday, April 20th at Fire Station #3 in West Laramie. DAT members respond to assist members of the community during disasters. This course is FREE and open to the public.
"Disaster Action Team volunteers help local families cope with emergencies.
Home fires and other disasters can occur any time, any place. As a Disaster Action Team volunteer, you’ll provide emotional support, financial assistance, and information to help families begin the process of recovery. After your initial training, your shifts will include responding to emergencies within 2 hours, night or day, rain or shine, either on the scene or coordinating remotely to provide immediate compassion and care. With experience and further training you can take on leadership and response coordination roles to have a wider impact. At the same time, you’ll be developing skills that you may choose to apply to larger-scale disaster response efforts with the Red Cross." - American Red Cross
