Be Red Cross Ready

Get a kit. Make a plan. Be informed

Disasters can strike quickly and without warning. You can prepare yourself and your loved ones to respond to a variety of disasters, from a hurricane to a heart attack.

This preparedness education program consists of an online education resource, community presentations and print materials, and a line of preparedness products. This program is designed to help individuals, families and their communities get ready for a variety of emergencies.

There are three actions everyone can take that can help make a difference…

Get a Kit.	Make a Plan	Be Informed
I have an emergency preparedness kit.	I have a family disaster plan and have practiced it.	I know what emergencies or disasters are most likely to occur in my community. At least one member of my household is trained in first aid and CPR/AED.
