Mass care shelter training class (revised)

The Butler Fire Department will be hosting a class to train individuals to volunteer as workers in a Red Cross mass care shelter. These shelters will be used in the event of a disaster (such as the Joplin tornado) here in Bates County and require trained personnel to staff the shelter and perform duties such as setup, registration, and more.

The class will be held on Saturday, May 12th at the Butler fire station training room and will provide all the information needed for qualified volunteers. Classes start at 8:30 a.m. and are open to everyone over 18 years old. To register, call Terrence Wilson at 660-200-6387.
