The Red Cross Disaster Action Team (R-DAT) is a program to establish a volunteer-based, well-trained team resident in each State ready to respond to emergencies in their own community. Palau Red Cross Society, working closely with the National Emergency Management Office (NEMO) and other partners, trains team members in disaster preparedness, response, good communication skills, and basic life support skills.
