Clarksville residents whose homes were destroyed or majorly
damaged were greeted at the FEMA Disaster Resource Center by Red Cross
volunteers, like Kelly Gonzalez and Russ Doseck. Leaving home to respond to
disasters is commonplace for Red Cross workers, even when it is during the
holiday season. Gonzalez packed and left her home in Pennsylvania, while Doseck
left his home in Ohio, both to provide much needed assistance to the people of
middle Tennessee following six tornadoes that touched down Dec. 9. This is what
Red Cross volunteers do during disasters big and small; serve others in
neighborhoods close-by and in other parts of the country.
Working as a team, they help ensure available assistance
for all eligible residents was provided. Through caring volunteers like Kelly
and Russ the Red Cross is available when disaster strikes.
