Red Cross seeking volunteers

The Central Panhandle Chapter of the American Red Cross is seeking volunteers for its Gulf County Disaster Action Teams (DAT).

Disaster Action Team members are the “first responders” of the Red Cross disaster program. DAT members are on 24-hour call for a week at a time to respond to local house fires or other incidents that may require emergency Red Cross services. DAT members are required to be available to respond to emergencies at any time day or night during their rotational period. DAT team members are responsible for the proper documentation (paperwork) needed to provide financial assistance to those in need. DAT teams are a vital and integral part of practically all Red Cross response operations.

If you are interested in providing this vital service in Gulf County please call Sharon Wagner at 763-6587 or e-mail Wager at swagner@redcrosspc.org.

Applications may also be picked up at Port St. Joe City Hall.
