Indiana Response
and Preparedness Corps (RAP Corps) – @ The American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana
The Indiana Response and Preparedness Corps
(RAP Corps) engaged 160 volunteers to canvas neighborhoods in Fort Wayne with
Disaster Preparedness materials in English, Spanish, Burmese and French (the
languages most commonly spoken in Fort Wayne) and offered smoke detectors to
families, if they have no smoke detector in the house. 
They worked with several universities to solicit volunteers as well as other community agencies such as United Way, Turnstone, Mayor's Youth Council, John Chapman Kiwanis Clup, IPFW Circle K Club, Key Clubs, and several other community agencies. Additionally, the Red Cross worked with its International
Services program to provide bilingual and multilingual volunteers to translate
written materials and to interpret on site as volunteers
canvass neighborhoods.
