Join emergency preparedness experts from the American Red Cross for an overview of disaster preparedness fundamentals. Whether a disaster is weather-based or caused by humans, forecasted or arriving suddenly, requiring you to evacuate or shelter-in-place, the Red Cross offers practical advice on getting informed, making a plan, assembling a kit, and keeping your plans up to date to mitigate risks and keep you, your loved ones, and your home safe. Please let us know if you will be attending our live session or via Microsoft Teams. Most people know that the American Red Cross helps people during emergencies, but you may not know that it's also part of our mission to help you help yourself! Becoming 'Red Cross Ready' for an emergency means following simple steps in advance to ensure you can weather a crisis safely. Being prepared may not prevent a disaster, but it will give you confidence to meet the challenge.
