In the aftermath of a single-family or larger ca- tastrophe like the Daisy Hill Fire, Disaster Action Team members directly assist victims and take care of such immediate needs as food, shelter and cloth- ing. Members also provide referrals for other commu- nity organizations that can help with longer-term re- covery. Having a Disaster Ac- tion Team in the valley would mean a quicker re- sponse time to area disas- ters, Stover said. For example, she noted, during the Daisy Hill Fire, had there been a team in the valley, fire of- ficials could have con- tacted those members first instead of having to phone the Grants Pass office. “It’s less confusing that way,” Carter said, not- ing that on the day of the fire someone from the GP office phoned her at around 7:30 p.m. Besides, who better to respond to an area emer- gency than nearby resi- dents, Stover added. “We can only know it (the valley) so well when we’re 45 minutes away,” she said. Each disaster team, comprised of two or three volunteers, is on call one week at a time. Therefore, the more teams available, the fewer on-call hours per group. To become a Disaster Action Team member, a volunteer needs the follow- ing training classes: Intro- duction to disaster, family services, Disaster Action Team orientation and stan- dard first aid. Damage as- sessment and shelter op- erations classes are also recommended. If at least four or five people noted interest in becoming team members, Stover said one of the training classes could be held in the valley. For more information and to volunteer, phone Carter at 592-3671 or the Grants Pass Red Cross of- fice at (541) 471-7822. Betty M.
