MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 12, 2022 — The city of Memphis is ranked fourth in the nation for home fire risk. The Mid-South Chapter of the American Red Cross responds to these fires and other individual disasters, on average, four times a day. Volunteers make up about 90 percent of the American Red Cross workforce, helping to make it possible to provide immediate support to our neighbors in time of need.
We ask for your help assisting our local community. As a Disaster Action Team Volunteer, you can respond to the scene of home fires and other disasters. Our volunteers provide emotional support, safe shelter, vital supplies, emergency assistance, and information to help families begin the process of recovery. The Mid-South Chapter will host a series of informational sessions to invite community members to learn more about this opportunity.
Upcoming informational sessions:
Thursday, Aug. 25, 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m.
