The American Red Cross of Great Chattanooga prepares for and responds to disasters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through its Disaster Action Team (D.A.T.). Always on call, D.A.T. volunteers provide disaster relief to meet the emergency needs of victims of house fires, storms, tornadoes, floods, and man-made disasters.
What we do
The team evaluates the extent of damage to determine how much assistance the victims will need. Victims are given the means to obtain essential items such as food and clothing, basic household appliances and furnishings, and medical and occupational supplies that are lost or destroyed in the disaster. During a large disaster, temporary shelters may be set up to provide disaster victims with a place to stay. Hundreds of meals may be served at one time to shelter occupants as well as emergency workers including firemen, power company workers, rescue workers and police.
