It’s important that you be prepared for possible disasters and other emergencies. Natural or human-caused disasters can strike suddenly, at anytime and anywhere. Are you prepared?
When an earthquake, tornado, flood, fire, or other emergency happens in your community, you can count on your American Red Cross of Ventura County to be there to help you and your family.
There are three actions anyone can take that can help make a difference:
Get a Kit – Have at least three days of supplies in an easy-to-carry evacuation kit.
Make a Plan –Planning ahead will help you have the best possible response to disaster.
Be Informed – Know what may happen and how you can help.
FREE Red Cross disaster preparedness presentations are being offered during the month of August. Get informed on the different ways to prepare your family before disaster strikes.
