II: Disaster Services Overview Course
A few of you expressed your interest to participate in Red Cross specific Events. I have created a poll with some random dates in mind for a DSO class
to be held. If we can all select one day, we'll be in business. I've included a link to a poll below. You will also receive volunteer hours for attending the course.
The class covers the entire disaster cycle- how to prepare for disasters, how to respond to them, and how to recover from them.
The class is expected to be 45 minutes to 1 hour. With a tour of communications and the garage where response vehicles are held !
This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the various volunteer opportunities available for American Red Cross volunteers in the Greater New York Area; Response, Communications, Logistics etc.
There are no limitations on seating.
