"Katrina stressed limits and taught us a lot," says Brenda Brouillette of the American Red Cross.

What was learned after serving Katrina victims is now helping volunteers do better at their job. Friday hundreds got inside a Red Cross mobile kitchen to train for another disaster.

"Working in kitchen new challenges, questions. We can't do it alone," says Jay Salvador, a Red Cross volunteer.

After sitting 10 hours in a classroom learning the basics, the volunteers cooked up hundreds of plates of food under a tight deadline, and not a lot of space.

"This would be an instance prepare to take shelter...or take neighborhoods, after flood...go through serve out of mobile portion food into shell hand it to family...eat while they are working," says Brenda Brouillette of the Red Cross.

Volunteers from all across the country took part in the disaster kitchen training, so if and when another catastrophe hits, they will be prepared to serve you.

95% percent of all work done by the Red Cross comes from volunteer help
