Feb 23 by joy&caringQuote from JustBeachyNurseThank you for posting this information! =)....If you go to the main website American Red Cross enter your ZIP code you'll be directed to your local chapter. All chapters have local disaster services. Usually you need to get involved at the local level on the disaster action team before you will be considered for the advanced training courses and deployment on national or regional disasters... The introduction to disaster services (or equivalent title) should be an online learning module available at the chapter level and is a pre-req for other trainings. You can also fill out forms at volunteermatch.org to be matched with your local chapter... -
