The Rio Colorado ARC family gets a little bigger.....
    In July 2006, the Rio Colorado Chapter of the American Red Cross assumed service responsibility of Wharton, Colorado, and
    Fayette counties.  These counties had previously been served by the Houston chapter, but it was decided that since they were just
    up the Colorado River from Matagorda county, each would be more efficiently served by the ARC chapter located in Matagorda
    county.  A map at the bottom of this page shows the area now covered by our chapter.

    We're excited about the chance to work with our neighbors to the north, and look forward to making a host of new friends and
    building strong alliances as we work together helping our neighbors in need.

What is the Disaster Action Team (DAT)?
    Disaster Action Teams (DATs) are trained Red Cross volunteers who will go to the scene of a disaster within the first 2-
    hours of notification in order to provide for the emergency needs of victims and emergency workers. A DAT volunteer's
    primary responsibility is to be the first Red Cross team on the scene at community disasters such as house/apartment
    fires, flash flooding, tornadoes, or technological incidents.


    How can I get involved in a DAT ?
    Call the chapter office at 979-245-3056 or email us at chapter@riocoloradoarc.org to get more information or to
    request training.  It's an easy process, and a very rewarding job.  Our goal is to have several DAT members for
    each of the four counties served by Rio Coloardo ARC.  Your participation WILL make a difference in getting help
    quickly to members of your community when disaster strikes.  Why not get involved now?

We're so proud of them!
