Now is the
Time to Get If there was something you could do to protect your family, strengthen our community, and potentially save yourself time and money, would you do it? What if that “something” took only a few minutes and was explained in three simple steps? As the nation’s partner in disaster and emergency preparedness, the American Red Cross has seen the difference that preparing ahead of time can make on a person’s ability to respond to and recover from a disaster or first aid emergency. We want you to have the confidence and peace of mind that comes with being prepared. So this September, we invite you to join us as we celebrate National Preparedness Month with activities and outreach to help get Gaston County prepared! Getting prepared doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. We’ve created a new online education module, which in just a few minutes will walk you through three steps you can take to “Be Red Cross Ready” for disasters and other emergencies: 1) Get a kit, 2) Make a plan and 3) Be informed. The education module, available at www.redcross.org/beredcrossready includes downloadable checklists as well as disaster-specific information and preparedness tips for pets, seniors and people with disabilities. This information is also available as a brochure or community presentation through the Gaston County Red Cross
