Amanda Logan has been a disaster services volunteer through Walton County for more than four years. She is always willing to go out to a disaster regardless of whether it’s day or night. Amanda’s compassion for others and willingness to serve, makes her a very special person. She has personally responded to more than 50 single family fires in the Walton County area in the past year. In the middle of January, Amanda responded to a fire in Loganville involving a family of five. Their house and their possessions were totally destroyed in the fire. The American Red Cross met their immediate disaster needs by providing a hotel for the family. Unfortunately, they had no resources for permanent housing. Amanda, knowing of their needs, contacted a personal friend and found a place that the family could call home.
In addition to her disaster response skills, Amanda has served as a Disaster Action Team captain. Over the past year as captain, she has led, trained, and mentored a team of 15 disaster volunteers. She also participates in disaster training exercises and helps raise funding for the Walton County area. As the mother of two small children, she still manages to find time to give to the American Red Cross. Her generous spirit and willingness to drop everything when the need arises makes her a true disaster relief hero.
