The Greater Houston Area Chapter of the American Red Cross is providing training for people willing to help others during major disasters like Hurricane Ike. We are adding to the greater Houston community’s ranks of pre-trained, pre-registered volunteers to be at the ready, so that they can mobilize and provide immediate humanitarian assistance when a major disaster threatens our communities.
Hurricane Ike continues to cause suffering along the Gulf Coast, and your help is needed. The American Red Cross is working to engage communities in a strong response to this disaster, and to build capacity for whatever the future holds. As a key agency in the relief effort, we would like to offer this training to your volunteers to help build our total community capability to shelter our neighbors from the storm. You are the difference in your community’s ability to respond and recover from storms like Hurricane Ike and in preparing it for a future disaster.
The American Red Cross offers classes daily. Volunteers will receive training that can be used in any shelter situation, whether working in your own facility or supporting a shelter with the Red Cross. We will also be placing volunteers to meet the needs of our current shelters in addition to preparing for the next storm.
