Dakotah Smith, a commercial real estate broker, is new to the Red Cross Omaha-Council Bluffs chapter board. His term on the board, where he raises money and awareness for Red Cross programs, began in July. However, his connection to the Red Cross goes back nearly 20 years. Since becoming active with his local Red Cross, Smith has completed training to join the disaster action team (DAT). This team of volunteers responds to local home fires, often arriving immediately on the scene. Just last week Smith responded to his first home fire as a DAT volunteer, providing comfort and support to someone who had experienced a home fire, while proudly wearing the Red Cross vest. “I like to call what the Red Cross does as ‘second responders’,” Smith explained. “That’s what I refer to them as.
