Disaster services volunteer Ray Moody always seems to be on duty. As the lead on American Red Cross’ alpha team, Moody is available from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday to Friday and 24 hours a day Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

“When we get a call, it’s usually a house fire, and our hotline operator gets a call from the fire department,” he explains. “They call me and see who is in the neighborhood (from American Red Cross) closest to the fire.”<\/p>\n

Moody, who has a doctorate in Spanish and Portuguese, is almost always at the scene, along with his crew, making sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible.<\/p>\n

“Once in a while I can’t make it, but that’s very rare,” he says.<\/p>\n

He’s asked himself many times why he chooses to go off willingly in the middle of the night to places he’s never been to help people he doesn’t know.<\/p>\n

“My answer to that is that somebody needs help, and I can provide that,” says Moody, who is retired from University of Hawaii at Manoa.<\/p>\n

He and his team make sure families affected by disaster have a place to stay, clothes to wear and food to eat.<\/p>\n

Moody, now 78, also is a Red Cross class instructor. “Working with really smart people is just a joy,” he says. “The people I work with at the Red Cross are super smart.”<\/p>\n

In addition to his disaster-preparedness work and teaching, Moody also has worked to open Red Cross shelters.<\/p>\n

He first started as a volunteer for Oahu Civil Defense, manning the radios.<\/p>\n

“I took one look at the Red Cross and realized they do a lot more. I moved over to the Red Cross,” explains Moody, who has been with Red Cross for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n

While most people can’t imagine the rigorous schedule Moody keeps, it’s safe to say he wouldn’t trade it for the world.<\/p>\n

“I get to do good stuff and work with really good people,” he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
