Every day people are forced from their homes due to fires, storms and other disasters. Single- and multi-family fires account for 90% of disaster responses. You can be part of a team that helps and responds to over 60,000 emergencies every year. DAT volunteers offer a caring and compassionate ear, work with affected families to ensure they have the disaster-caused needs met, such as lodging and clothing, and connecting them with long term recovery services. Our volunteers ensure that families don’t have to face tough times alone.
Volunteers are asked to sign-up for on-call shifts. This is based on your availability. Shift options include daytime, overnight and weekend shifts. During an on-call shift, you may receive a call to respond to multiple disasters (like home fires) in your community, or you may not receive any. Every shift is different.
DAT volunteers will serve throughout Harnett County when a disaster strikes.
If you are team-oriented and want to make a difference, please consider joining the Disaster Action Team and apply now. We supply all the training you need.
