Does the Red cross offer first responder, or related, training?
Red Cross normally offers first aid and advanced first aid and in many locations courses that would come under the first responder category tho some responder groups also do their own training. There is generally a charge for Red Cross training. Red Cross also has DAT (Disaster Action Team) training. This is not medical response but response of helping people get their lives beginning to recover after a fire or a major disaster like a hurricane. This training is also offered by almost every Red Cross chapter. People who serve on local DATs can take further training and as they gain experience move on to regional, national, and international disaster response.
