Show Red Cross needs Red Cross is close by, ready to help in case of a fire, earthquake, or flood. Right? Well, they're ready to help, but they're not exactly close by. Until 11 or 12 years ago, the organization had a chapter in Summit County. But since then, the Salt Lake chapter merged with both Summit and South Davis Counties. And that worries Jerry Cozewith, director of emergency social services of the Red Cross in Salt Lake. "Park City has the kind of density that could be seriously impacted by a disaster," Cozewith said. A town like Coalville has long ago developed conventional resources to fall back on, he said, but when a fire consumes con-sumes a condo in Park City, time is wasted while aid is rushed up from the Red i I 1 Back row: Cindy Stewart, Denise White, Dan Nestel and Tim Brose.

The Salt Lake chapter is actively recruiting and training people to deal with disasters. Currently, Cozewith Coze-with said, they have 130 volunteers, many not yet trained, and four special "Disaster Action" teams. These teams, composed of five people each, serve on a rotating basis. For one week each month, the team is on call not to deal with major catastrophes, but to help with small disasters, like fires, that leave families in need of assistance.

They put them up in hotels, provide clothing, or refer them to another aid agency that quickly takes over for the Red Cross. "Sometimes, we never hear from them again after a referral," he said. , Of course, the Red Cross is best known for its large-scale large-scale disaster relief, and their congressional charter, granted in the early 1900s, obligates them to provide this service. In disasters, the Red Cross works with local paramedics and Civil Defense to provide shelters, makeshift morgues, and emergency first aid.

Food would be shipped in by tractor-trailer and air drops from Red Cross centers in Denver or Las Vegas. Again, Park City citizens, would have an important role to play in coordinating local action. They would have to contact schools, government entities, and merchants who would, by previous agreement with Red Cross, supply food and clothing.
