ERV's on a DR

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a Red Cross volunteer on a national level?

Before a national disaster even strikes, local Red Cross volunteers enroll in a national Red Cross database. They select 1-3 jobs they are capable and trained to do, and when a national disaster strikes, those who are available for a specific job are deployed to those disasters.

These stories are wonderful and heartwarming. I deployed people when I worked for Red Cross, but I never actually went out on any national disasters. Nothing will replace actually being there, but the stories they brought back made me feel like I was there with them.

Read the diary of two volunteers from Duluth and Superior. These two are Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) drivers, and responsible for feeding people who are in hard to reach places.
