Preparing to Respond

The Broward County Chapter works continuously to be ready to respond by coordinating and collaborating with its disaster partners.

As part of this process, the Chapter identifies places to set up shelters and service centers, makes arrangements with vendors for needed supplies, and works with local merchants.

The ability to respond also depends on having people who are trained and ready. Each year the Broward County trains hundreds of people who can then provide consistent, quality services to people affected by disasters.

Do you know of a space that might be useful as a post-fire shelter? Please call 954-797-3823 or e-mail bahran@usa.redcross.org for more information on how you can help your community.
