When on call they respond to local disasters such as house fires, floods and other events. They provide emergency food, clothing, shelter and other services. Licencesed mental health workers and nurses who address medical and counseling needs. Disaster action team members can also be involved in other activities including disaster drills, community outreach / education and, if desired, deploy to national disaster relief operations.
