Train As a Volunteer Now Before The Next Disaster Strikes

When a disaster strikes, the first instinct of any human is to help. In the case of the Joplin tornado, Emergency Management officials had to request that people simply stay away while those trained in rescue could move in. Jessica Willingham, Chief Operating Communications Officer for the St. Louis American Red Cross says it pays to be ready in advance.






Officials have warned that this tornado season has only begun and the hurricane season is still to come. Both are expected to record breaking in the amount and strength of storms.
