Red Cross Disaster Action Team (DAT) volunteers respond to assist families with shelter, support, and access to basic needs immediately following a home fire – often arriving on scene even as the fire is still burning.  Last year, the Red Cross provided disaster assistance to 165 families in the Lake Cumberland service area.
