The Red Cross Streamlines Dispatch With Twilio.org

The American Red Cross of Chicago & Northern Illinois streamlined their emergency dispatch process using an open-source application called Disaster Cycle Services Operations (DCSOps) powered by Twilio. The new system allows dispatchers to send text messages to volunteers, reducing the need for repeated phone calls and increasing efficiency. This has helped level the workforce playing field for new volunteers, enabling them to participate more easily in disaster response efforts. With over 3,000 messages sent per month, DCSOps is now used in several major Red Cross regions, including New York City, Los Angeles, and San Diego.
