Yes, it's official now. I am now a member of DSHR from Redcross.
DSHR means Disaster Services Human Resources.
So, if there's a disaster whether natural disaster or man-made one, DSHR members from all across the country got deployed to that area and serve the victims with food, shelter and clothing. Yes, DSHR members are one of those people who are distributing food or taking care of the victims as we've seen in the news.
It's funny how I got involved with DSHR. I went to the Red Cross to complete the new volunteer orientation in order to become First Aid/CPR instructor but instead of that I went into the wrong class which is the very first orientation for DSHR.... yes a big LOL

But, I have been wanted to be a member of this team for a while but the training classes are offered only like twice a year and most of the time, I am not free at all.
I finished two introductory classes almost like a year ago but I have been procrastinating and am really busy with school to complete my status as DSHR volunteer.
Yayy....During this spring break, I did the most effective thing by going through two more mandatory classes to be a DSHR member.
As I said, now I am ready to be deployed to the newly disaster hit areas by RedCross.

So if I get deployed, I have to serve in that particular area for two weeks.
Hopefully, by the time I get called, I don’t have midterms or loads of homework going on and the professors would understand the work, the dedication and the effort that the Red Cross volunteers would put into.

What’s my next step? To be a member of DAT.
DAT means Disaster Action Team and the members are on call 24/7 on every three weeks to respond to local emergencies like house fires and earthquakes.
But I have to get trained around 4 or 5 more DSHR classes to be an awesome team member.

Well, I just signed up for those classes. By June 26th, I will be a first responder.
Woot… So excited,
