Lott Carey Disaster Training being conducted by the American Red Cross (ARC).
Friday, April 27, 1 - 5 and Saturday, April 28,
9 - 1.
It's one course just split into two parts; attendees will have to
participate in both parts.
The cost is $25 to cover meals and snacks.
Our goal is be able to certify teams to be mobilized for local, regional and national disasters. Upon completion of next weekends training and a background check, those trained will become a part of the ARC Disaster Services Resources (DSHR) network of volunteers and will be able to begin preparations for the creation of distribution and feeding centers in our local churches throughout the mid-Atlantic area.
We have a network of individuals and churches trained in Louisiana and will be expanding program throughout the U.S. where our network of churches and partners are located. We are engaging ARC and FEMA in the process of positioning the African American Church to be prepared to respond proactively, efficiently and effectively to local, regional and national disasters.
