Disaster Action Team
The Disaster Action Team (D.A.T.) is made up of a group of volunteers whose main function is to respond to local disasters within the community. The team is fully operational 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week.

Should a fire occur, a D.A.T. Captain (also a volunteer) will call a group of volunteers who are available to meet and go to the disaster scene. All training to be a D.A.T. member is free and available every quarter.

 At the fire scene, the D.A.T. members will assist the individuals with food, clothing, and shelter (as needed).

The Disaster Action Team usually holds meetings once every month and usually meets the first Monday.

If you are interested in becoming a member, or would like more information about the Disaster Action Team, please call (516)747-3500 or e-mail nassau@usa.redcross.org.
