Red Cross Shelter Volunteer Training Taking Place in Waterford

“Ever wished there was something you could do to help after a blizzard, hurricane or other disaster? Here is your chance,” East Lyme Public Safety posted via Facebook.

The American Red Cross is sponsoring a one-day shelter training to teach new volunteers the basic skills needed to assist in an emergency shelter during a disaster.

Those who attend will learn the processes for opening, operating and closing a shelter during a hurricane, flood, ice storm or other emergency. Upon completion of the training, participants will be a registered Red Cross shelter volunteer.

The training in Waterford will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16. Those interesting in attending may fill out this form and will receive location information after its submission.
