Manitoba's weather is unpredictable, however there is a way to be as prepared as you can be.


Wanda Wishart a volunteer with Canadian Red Cross says this month they have been busy recruiting people, specifically in the area of disaster response.


Wishart says you can get involved in areas that best suit your interests.


She adds as a volunteer you are treated with respect and even given the opportunity to help at a National level.


She says sometimes you are expected to sit and wait but it is crucial that there are people who know what to do in case of an emergency.
