About the Book

In the wake of an emergency or disaster, numerous volunteers willingly interrupt their personal lives to help others in need. They tolerate personal discomforts, hard work, long hours, shelter living, uncertain meals, and rapid changes in their work assignments as the response evolves. This book aims to assist volunteers and potential volunteers in their preparation for whatever response might be underway. This could be an emergency in one's own life, a short-term local Disaster Action Team (DAT) operation, or an extended disaster response (DR) deployment. The material is oriented toward American Red Cross volunteers but is equally applicable to anyone preparing for any possible personal emergency. Lists of recommended gear and items to pack will help anyone wanting to be READY. Lists of important information and blank forms will enable rapid recovery from any kind of disaster or emergency. Detailed descriptions of available equipment and what is most useful in different circumstances will benefit even those who want nothing more than to hit the trails. Deployment into a disaster area is not for everyone but the personal rewards are immeasurable. It has been called ?the hardest job you ever will love? for good reason. Americans have always been quick to respond in times of need. May we always continue to place others before ourselves.
