So many
things compete for our attention these days that sometimes its
hard to prioritize things that are good for us. While it may seem
overwhelming or unimportant to get prepared, we know from experience
that taking steps to prepare ahead of time can help you respond
better and stay safer in an emergency.
This September,
the American Red Cross joins the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
and a coalition of more than 1,500 organizations in helping you
get prepared during National Preparedness Month. Learn the three
recommended preparedness actions to "Be Red Cross Ready"
for emergencies, take the Pledge to Prepare, and get involved
today!
