Introduction to Disaster Training

Responding to a disaster requires quick thinking and standardized operations. Volunteers who wish to respond both locally and nationally must be trained in advance, as there is little time for training during the disaster. Classes are structured for advancement into American Red Cross groups and activities. When a disaster happens, we call on those who are trained to perform specific functions.

No Cost to Attend!

  • Courses are provided by Red Cross Specialized Disaster Instructors
  • Participants are welcome to attend any class
  • Registration priority will be given to Red Cross personnel
  • Classes are subject to cancellation so call to ensure valid start time

The tables below list all available classes by category: ARC Disaster Classes, OTC Disaster Classes, OTC Health & Safety, FEMA, and Miscellaneous.
