PROMISE
TO PREPARE
is a local Red Cross initiative with the goal of increasing
the number of prepared individuals in our neighborhood. In
today’s climate, it’s more important than ever that all of
us be prepared for possible emergencies. They visit us on
the 34th floor of our office building and the day
care centers we send our children to keep them safe while
we’re at work. They visit us in the form of an industrial
chemical leak, as a highway car accident that you happen to
come upon, or - more personally – as a heart attack from an
aging parent.
Would
you know what to do?
There
are actions we can take that help make a difference. When
you promised to build a first aid kit, create an emergency
plan, get trained, and volunteer, you are taking the steps
to bring preparedness into the community. No one wants to
consider the worst that may happen, but to prepare now means
you can be reassured you’ll know what to do when that time
comes.
If you promised to Build a Kit
Learn what items make up a
Family Disaster Supplies Kit or
Purchase a Kit.
This
checklist reviews the six basics you should stock for your
home: water, food, first aid supplies, clothing and bedding,
tools and emergency supplies, and special items.
If you promised
to Make a Plan
Create Your Personalized
Family Disaster Plan
All
individuals and families should create a personal disaster
plan. These plans are important tools for any place people
who regularly congregate, including schools and workplaces.
If you promised
to Get Trained
Take the time to
Register for a Course
The
American Red Cross Armstrong County Chapter trains more than
1,000 people each year in AED, CPR, First Aid and other life
saving skills.
If you promised
to Volunteer
Learn about the different ways you can
Volunteer
Few
Americans are untouched by Red Cross services – all made
possible by volunteers. Our communities need your help.
There are so many needs and so many ways to serve. Visit us
at 418 3rd Avenue, Ford City, PA 16226 or call
724-763-2272 and ask how you can help.
When we
all come together, we become something greater than us all.
