I have the distinct feeling that our American Red Cross is in serious trouble. The stories I read about the organization all paint a picture of it headed in the wrong direction. Declining donor base, declining volunteer base, consolidation of chapters due to a lack of finances, job cuts, etc.
This GAO report, " FEMA Should More Fully Assess Organizations' Mass Care Capabilities and Update the Red Cross Role in Catastrophic Events" highlights the significant changes that have happened to ESF 6 Mass Care since Katrina.
As we look to the new presidential administration I'm hopeful that there will be a push for volunteerism and service to nation and community. Perhaps this is just the antidote that the ARC needs.
