As hundreds of thousands of people in storm ravaged areas try to cope in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the American Red Cross is making it possible for potential volunteers to assist in the emergency disaster response efforts that lie
ahead. Two volunteers from Pawtucket, Rhode Island left today at 1:00 p.m., headed by van for New Haven, Connecticut, where they will pick up an Emergency
Response Vehicle that they will then drive to the staging area in Little Rock, Arkansas. The volunteers, Sandy Murray and Joanne Ramsey, are veterans, having responded to Hurricane Charley in Florida in 2004.
Over 250 people from the Northeast are already on the way to bring comfort to
hurricane victims, with many more volunteers needed to assist in the weeks and months to come. In Rhode Island, 17 disaster volunteers are trained and ready to
go, simply awaiting an assignment. A total of 90 disaster volunteers in Rhode Island have the necessary training to respond to this sort of disaster.
"A hurricane of this magnitude is a true act of nature, something totally beyond our
control. We can make a difference, though, by responding to those who so desperately need our help now," said Angie Moncada, Director of Communications
"With an upsurge in calls from many people who want to assist the Red Cross, we are offering trainings this weekend to anyone who can commit to a two week
deployment and who can meet the criteria of our volunteer recruitment system."
Meantime, in areas throughout Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama the American Red
Cross is fanning out, rushing relief to storm-impacted people. This is the largest mobilization of resources for a single natural disaster involving thousands of trained
disaster relief workers and tons of supplies. In coordination with the Southern Baptist Convention, preparations have been made to serve 500,000 hot meals each day.
