Description

 The Red Cross continues to deliver critical services to your community during this wildfire, and we urgently need people to join as a volunteer in the following areas:

Disaster Shelter Team

These volunteers support the day-to-day activities within a shelter which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information or other areas inside a Red Cross shelter. Because COVID-19 safety protocols require additional shelter locations to open to in order to make sure people can stay at least six feet apart, more shelter services volunteers are needed to begin their training now. 

 

Disaster Health Services Team

If you are a licensed medical professional, you can serve as a health care worker to provide assistance and healthcare to shelter residents. This could include assisting with activities of daily living, personal assistance services, providing health education and helping to replace medications, durable medical equipment or consumable medical supplies in a shelter. Licenses required: RN, LPN, LVN, EMT, Paramedic, MD, DO, PA, NP, APRN.

 

What Does Volunteering on These Teams Look Like?

Due to an active wildfire season and the complexities of COVID-19, the Red Cross will need hundreds of local volunteers to care for people when disasters strike this upcoming season in Central California. Here’s what it involves:

  • Completing a volunteer application at redcross.org/volunteertoday & authorizing a background check
  • Taking 3 hours of online training to be ready to volunteer in at a COVID-19 shelter assignment
  • Availability to work multiple shelter shifts during a 2-week disaster timeline
  • Volunteer shifts can be 4, 8, or 12 hours (it used to be 12 hours minimum)
  • Compassion and willingness to roll up your sleeves to help your community

 

Safety First:

We care about your health and well-being, so please review the CDC guidance for people who are at higher risk for severe illness, consult your health care provider and follow local guidance to assure you would be a fit for these roles. We are taking all safety precautions possible during this pandemic and practicing how we will set up our operations. All new volunteers must complete our COVID-19 Interview before volunteering in person (see attached). To apply visit: redcross.org/volunteertoday
