Disaster Action Team Fundamentals
The most frequent disasters that the Red Cross responds to in every community is house fires. This session with teach you about our Disaster Action Teams, how to respond to the scene of a house fire and provide Red Cross assistance.
Hands-only CPR
Do you have 30 mins to learn how to save a life? Hands Only CPR teaches untrained bystanders how to perform the critical chest compressions that save lives. According to the American Heart Association, 90% of out of hospital cardiac arrests are fatal. Immediate CPR can double or even triple the chance of survival.
This non-certificate, free course seeks to have more people in the community trained to give live saving compressions.
Wildfire Home Visit Training
Our country is experiencing an increasing number of wildfires. More communities are at risk than ever before. To help, the Red Cross is preparing residents now more likely than ever to experience a wildfire. Join us as part of our door-to-door free home visits to give wildfire defense awareness education and services to include a checklist of important actions to prep for the next wildfire occurrences.
In this training, you will learn how to help others prepare for wildfires by identifying hazards, advising on defensible space techniques, and planning evacuation routes.
Each offering will last about 2 hours with refreshments provided.
