Prepare for a Safe Summer
There's no question that the Red Cross will be there to provide help and relief when severe weather strikes, but the Red Cross is also there to help people prepare for other emergencies, from a swimming emergency to a heart attack to heat related emergencies.
With summer in full swing, it is important to be safe in, on, and around the water. Swimmers of all ages and abilities can develop their swimming and water safety skills by contacting their local Red Cross chapter.
Your local Red Cross chapter can also give you the confidence to respond in an emergency situation with skills that can save a life through CPR and AED programs.
To find your local chapter, enter your zip code in the far right column of this page.
