PLAINFIELD, NJ—Hurricaneville was recently contacted by the CEO of the Tri-County Red Cross, Nathan Rudy, and was informed that the local chapter of the Red Cross in Union, Somerset, and Middlesex counties here in New Jersey is having a major disaster volunteer recruitment drive that started on May 1st, and will go until the end of the year. By being a volunteer, you will be helping the Red Cross help those who are affected by fires as well as flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe weather.

According to Rudy, “We are actually working the drive all the way through December. We want to add 50 new Disaster Action Team members, 15 new Be Red Cross Ready Trainers, and to give basic disaster preparation presentations to as many people as possible.” If you are interested in becoming a Red Cross volunteer, or looking for more information, please contact Nathan Rudy at: RudyN@ usa.redcross.org, or call 908-756-6414.
