Disaster Services
The Chatham Branch employs the service of hundreds of
volunteers to assist with victims of disaster. Disasters may occur on a
small scale, such as a single family house fire, or much larger scale, such
as a flood or hurricane. If a disaster does occur in our community, the
Bryan County Disaster Action Team (DAT) members will be there to assist
the victims by meeting their immediate disaster caused needs, such as, food,
clothing, and shelter.
These same Disaster Services volunteers are also trained to
open shelters, assess damage in a disaster area, and provide for the needs of
mass amounts of disaster victims. More volunteers are always needed,
and disaster service training is always free. If you would like to
volunteer with the Bryan County DAT team, call 912-651-5321 to schedule a new
volunteer orientation.
The American Red Cross also trains our neighbors in Bryan County on how to prepare for
disasters. Community Disaster Educators are available to give
presentations on everything from how to prepare for tornados, hurricanes
& floods to what steps you can take to prevent the spread of Pandemic
Flu. Call 912-651-5311 to schedule a presentation or visit our website
and request a speaker from our speaker's bureau.
Blood Services
The Southern Blood Region serves our tri-county area and
organizes blood drives and blood donor recruitment. The local Account
Manager can be reached by calling: 866-611-7137. Their office is
located at 25 Tibet, Savannah, GA
31406.
International
Services
The American Red Cross works with a global network of Red
Cross, Red Crescent and equivalent societies to restore hope and dignity to
the world's vulnerable people.
This international Red Cross movement brings emergency relief to disaster
victims, and improves basic living conditions of those in chronically
deprived areas of the world.
