I'm interested in volunteering for the Disaster Services division of the Red Cross. How is it working for this division? What's a typical day in the field like? Volunteers need only reply..Thanks!
I'd like to hear the opinions of others that don't answer the phone at the Red Cross and are non-biased.
I think that it is great that you want to volunteer for the Disater Service branch of the Red Cross.
You won't find a typical day in the field. It varies from day to day and from emergency/disaster. Lets say you live in an area where there is a lot of tornados. Now lets say you were called out on 3 of these tornados Each time you went out you would have different experiences and different jobs to do. One time you may be helping with search and rescue in the field. Another they may need you at the temporary shelter passing out food and blankets and making phone calls. You have to be committed to being a volunteer with them. When diaster strikes you are going to have to put your family to the side and concentrate on helping other families. You can be called out any time day or night.
I hope that this answered some of your questions. For a more detail description and for qualifications that you may need contact your local chapter of the Red Cross

Do you or have you volunteered with Red Cross Disaster Relief?

You need to be 18 to go out on responses. However, you can do support and logistics work at a younger age, I believe. Red Cross Youth starts at 14. Find your local chapter of the Red Cross at http://www.redcross.org and give them a call.
I was at my Bank then in a few hours I was on the way to NYC with the American Red Cross Disaster Services. I am including a link to a list of those murdered by the Muslim Terrorist May the victims be remembered and the Terrorist be blotted from the memory of the world. And may the World never forget the true face of ISLAM....
If the "Muslims as a whole" do not support this kind of thing, where is their outrage? Where is their willingness to bring the MURDERERS to Trial before the World Court. I challenge anyone to show evidence that the Muslim majority is against Terrorism If you are up to the challenge please reply. If not hang your head in silence. As for the proof it was a Muslim attack Bin Laden took credit for the attack, the entire Muslim world calls him a leader. That is proof enough of his guilt, and his hiding in caves while claiming victory is proof of his cowardice. But then Muslim is another word for Coward. Thats why they use Mosques as forts, knowing the US will not bomb a Mosque. I think when a Mosque becomes a fort it should become a Bomb Target. After all the Twin Towers were not a Military target and the thousands of people in them were NON_COMBATANTS. BTW I am no longer a Red Cross worker since to do so would mean if I saw a Muslim In a disaster I would be expected to help them!
As for the comment if a Christian had done this...let me simply state that if someone calling them self a Christian had done this the TRUE Christians would rise up and demand they brought to Justice. Before 9/11 I had no opinion of Islm, since 9/11 I believe the world will be a better place when the last follower of Mohammad is in the ground, or incinerated and spread over the glowing embers of the Dome of the Rock. I pray America will allow our Israeli Friends to Destroy all Islam in order for the world to have peace. After all the Muslims want to destroy the world, startinv with Israel, so let's not stop Israel from defending the world from Islam Abraham's Rightful son should be allowed to decide the fate of the infidel son of the slave. Remember Islam is a plagiarized faith made up by the seed of Ishmael
Yes, I was at home at that time watching a talk show... when it switched automatically to the news channel.
At that time the first tower was hit... it was so shocking and unbelievable what I saw... I will never forget that feeling of sorrow and helplessness (I hope I said that right)
I didn't knew any of those people who died on that day, but I will always remember and keep them in my heart & memory, honor them so to speek. The victims will allways be remembered ♥
There will never ever be any price good enough that anybody, neither Pres.Bush can pay for the victims and their families on 9/11.
I could go on and on... but I rather leave it at that.
May God bless the families of those ones who lost their lives on 9/11. Yes... and of course, may God bless America :)
Let there be Peace in this World!
~ Peace ♥
