BE THERE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
๐ค From volunteering in your community to learning skills like first aid and CPR, you can take steps to prepare for disasters and keep your family safe and make your neighborhood and community more resilient.
๐ซ From house fires that displace a single family, to tornadoes that destroy entire communities, we have seen time and time again that itโs our neighbors who are first to respond. Americans donโt wait on others to lend a helping hand to people on their worst day. Thatโs why itโs so important to get to know your neighbors and invite them to be a part of your emergency plan.
๐งฏIn most emergencies, our families, neighbors and coworkers are the first people who come to our aid. You can help your family, friends and neighbors by taking a first aid and CPR class and learning how to use a fire extinguisher.
โ๏ธ Emergencies can happen fast, and emergency responders arenโt always nearby. You may be able to save a life by taking simple actions immediately. You can learn these steps when you take a first aid class through many organizations in your community.
