How to Prepare for Emergencies; Be Red Cross Ready

Common emergencies and natural disasters occur. Learn how to deliver lifesaving hands only CPR care and be prepared for a natural disaster in one night.

Join the Red Cross for these two free classes on Oct. 10, 2023, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Roaring Spring Community Library. Each class will be approximately 45 minutes and will be offered in one night.

Note: This is a basic practical workshop, not a CPR certification course.

Hands-only CPR is CPR without rescue breaths, which is simple to learn and easy to remember, especially outside medical settings. It increases the likelihood of surviving cardiac arrest, when the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs.

Be prepared! Floods, hurricanes and wildfires are becoming more frequent and can be devastating to our loved ones,homes and communities. Build confidence by learning simple steps you can take now, to help prepare and protect your family.
