Red Cross Emergency Preparedness Calling Campaign

Join the American Red Cross to educate the community about home fire safety and save lives. On average, seven people die every day from a home fire. Fire experts agree that you may have as little as two minutes to escape a burning home before it’s too late to get out. Every eight minutes, the Red Cross responds to a disaster – and the vast majority of these are home fires. 

You can support making homes safer by conducting outreach & education phone calls. The Red Cross will offer asynchronous training as well as the opportunity to participate in information sessions to learn more about the Emergency Preparedness Campaign on Monday and the American Red Cross more broadly on Thursday. You will be able to sign up for calling shifts convenient to your schedule, and a shift coordinator will be available to support you throughout.

We provide food and shelter in emergencies, assist members of our armed forces, veterans and their families, teach lifesaving skills to ensure our communities are prepared to respond to emergencies, and so much more.
