Red Cross Offers Disaster Training

Classes available in Pensacola and Crestview

PENSACOLA, FL, September 5, 2008 – Hanna, Ike and Josephine. In anticipation of these named storms making their way across the Atlantic, the American Red Cross of Northwest Florida is hosting two disaster shelter operations training on Sunday, September 7, 2008.

This training will focus on how to open and operate a Red Cross shelter where people can have a safe haven to ride out a storm. Trained Red Cross shelter managers are seeking additional volunteers to work side-by-side with an experienced team for Hurricane Ike and, if possible, for other storms this hurricane season.

The training will be held at the following locations on Sunday:

1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. – East Brent Baptist Church, 4801 N. Davis Highway, Pensacola, FL
1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. – New Beginnings Church, 412 W. James Lee Boulevard, Crestview, FL

Participants in this training must be 18 years of age or older, be in good health, successfully pass a background check and be able to work at a Red Cross shelter in their community should the need arise for Hurricane Ike.

Participants can register when arriving at the training site, just prior to the training start time.
