Greetings All,

The American Red Cross has had a little reprieve this hurricane season. However, with that said, one is a brewing in the Atlantic…

The Board has been aggressively working on the DOVE web site by adding new information weekly. Please make sure you open and read each vertical on the left hand side of the home page.

The American Red Cross has changed the Staff Card protocols, so be sure and read the information we have provided to you on our site.  The American Red Cross is now loading staff cards with $600. And most importantly, our reimbursement for use of our Personal Own Vehicle (POV) will be accounted for on an Expense Reimbursement form, which we will need to ask for and submit to Staffing on the DRO for reimbursement. The amount should not go over the cost of a round trip airfare exceeding $600. REMEMBER, you ALWAYS need chapter approval to drive your rig to a DRO.

We also have information regarding the new DSHR availability dates. Please read this because it has changed.

If you are a DSHR member it is up to YOU to go onto the DSHR link and monitor your own availability. You must be proactive if you want to be deployed to a DRO. The site can be located at: https://dshr.redcross.org/Graphic_Interface/login.asp   You will need a login and password, which you can receive by calling your home chapter.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate contacting any Board member.
