Spring Preparedness

[Northern Colorado, 4/25/08] - Spring is a time of new life and growth, but it also ushers in violent weather across many parts of the country. People across the nation are recovering from recent, deadly tornadoes, damaging storms and mass flooding. Some Arkansas residents were dealt a menacing combination—flooding in addition to a tornado. Right here in Northern Colorado we are actively preparing for the threat of wildfires and floods. Our dedicated volunteers are mobilized across our region to provide food, shelter and emergency assistance.

The best way to make you and your family safer is to be prepared before disaster strikes. Take 3 simple actions to become Red Cross Ready: Get a Kit - Make a Plan - Be Informed. Following these steps will give you the confidence and peace of mind you deserve, protecting yourself and loved ones.

As a Red Cross friend, I encourage you to join the ranks of other safety-minded people and get prepared. If you already have—congratulations, and would you mind telling 1 or 2 friends how easy it is to Be Red Cross Ready? It’s the perfect addition to your spring cleaning list.
