With a dozen
families displaced by a recent apartment fire, it is particularly significant
that The Montgomery Area Red Cross and Hall Memorial Christian Methodist
Episcopal Church are organizing Disaster
Action Teams for Montgomery. A Disaster Action Team (DAT) is composed of
volunteers who have taken the required training. They respond to local
emergency and disaster incidents.
The teams provide
emergency food, clothing and shelter to families displaced by a disaster. The
team can provide canteen services (food, water and snacks), blankets, comfort
kits and other small items to survivors of smaller scale disasters if they do
not have their own means.
Training for the
Montgomery Area Disaster Action Teams will be at Hall Memorial CME Church on
Monday, July 30th from 6-9 P.M.
Dress comfortably.
