The mission of the American Red Cross is to help our community prevent, prepare for and respond to emergency situations. In support of this mission, we invite you to join us for our next Be Red Cross Ready event.
Be Red Cross Ready is a free, one-hour event where you will learn to prepare yourself and your family for emergency situations. This community disaster education course is provided free-of -charge as our way of saying thank you for everything you do to support our local Red Cross chapter.
Learn to build an emergency kit, create a disaster plan, and receive useful emergency tips about floods, house fires and earthquakes. Disaster preparedness supplies will be available to purchase and a brief overview of all Red Cross services will be provided.
Take the time to ensure that you and your family are prepared for a disaster. By doing so, you will be more confident, safe, and effective during times of emergency. Statistics show that it normally takes 72 hours for help to arrive, so it is essential to make sure that your family is prepared.
