Community Engagement Initiatives
Join us for the next American Red Cross Sound the Alarm event! Volunteers install free smoke alarms and
share safety information to help families prepare for, respond to, and recover from home fires. No prior experience is necessary, as the Red Cross provides all the training you'll need.
More event details will be posted here when they are available!
AAA helps recruit multifamily industry professionals to be trained as a volunteer emergency response team for the Red Cross, one specifically utilized to call on to respond to emergencies at apartment communities in our area such as fires, floods, and other emergencies.
What is your obligation as a member of the Disaster Response Team?
One hour of online training is followed by two hours of classroom training conducted by the Red Cross. Once training is complete, your name will be added to a volunteer roster at the Red Cross of Central Texas. In the event of an emergency at a multi-family rental housing community, our team of trained volunteers will be contacted to help in response efforts. There is no obligation to help when called, but the hope is you will be trained and ready to go when help is needed most.
