Red Cross Disaster Training

 

It’s important to prepare for possible disasters and other emergencies. Join us for an American Red Cross disaster skills workshop  designed to help your family and community be prepared in case of emergency, including developing an emergency plan and building a disaster kit.


This project is best for volunteers ages 8 to adult.  Although the workshop is specifically designed for youth, some of the topics discussed, such as fires or tornados may be scary for some children. We provide all of the needed supplies and healthy snacks. 5 participant maximum per family and all kids must be accompanied by an adult. Additional details will follow a few days prior to the event. 

Please read the Consent, Release and Waiver of Liability below and click on the link to register. If the event is full, please join our wait list and we will contact you if space becomes available.
