SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The American Red Cross of Southern Missouri is in need of disaster response volunteers and is hosting a training course in August.

A press release from the Red Cross says the training is scheduled for Aug. 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Southern Missouri Chapter (1545 N. West Bypass, Springfield). Pre-registration is required and can be done by emailing jenny.solomon@redcross.org.

The Disaster Action Team (DAT) serves as the first on-scene Red Cross contact at a disaster site, the release said, and provides comfort and direct assistance to those affected by a disaster.

Training for the DAT is for anyone who wants to help locally respond to disasters like house fires, floods, and tornadoes.
