QUESTION? WHEN SHOULD WE PREPARE FOR DISASTER?

ANSWER: TO BEST RESPOND, WE MUST PREPARE BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES!

Long before a disaster strikes, the Red Cross plans what it will do. A disaster response plan identifies what it will take to respond to various disasters, what resources are needed, and how they will be coordinated and used. As part of the planning process, Red Cross chapters also practice by participating in drills and exercises. Such planning enables chapters to respond efficiently and effectively.

Every Red Cross chapter works continuously to be ready to respond by coordinating and collaborating with its disaster partners. As part of this process, chapters identify places to set up shelters and service centers, makes arrangements with vendors and local merchants for needed supplies.

The ability to respond also depends on having people who are trained and ready. Each year the Red Cross trains thousands of people to provide consistent, quality services to people affected by disasters.

Wouldn't you like to become one of those who are ready to respond? You are invited to join a very special group of people who are ready and willing to train and serve when needed.

LEARN HOW GOOD IT CAN FEEL TO LEND A HELPING HAND.
