In these tough economic times, when cities are rolling back their operating budgets, this innovative City of Los Angeles program needs people: The Crisis Response Team (CRT) Volunteer Program.
Here's how the program is described:
What is the Crisis Response Team?
The Crisis Response Team is a citywide volunteer program coordinated through the Mayor's Office.
As a volunteer member of the Crisis Response Team (C-R-T) you are activated by the Los Angeles Police and Fire Departments to provide immediate on-scene crisis intervention, emotional support and referrals to victims and their families involved in a traumatic incident such as:
- Major Traffic Accidents
- Homicides
- Death Notification Assistance
- Multi-Casualty Incidents
- Drive-by Shootings
- Natural Deaths
- Fires
