Stay active within your community as a RedRover Responders volunteer

In between disaster responses, RedRover Responders volunteers have plenty of ways to stay active. They often educate their communities about disaster preparedness for animals; get involved in other disaster preparedness groups; or create their own volunteer training and networking opportunities.
