Accidents happen, which is why it’s critical to be prepared. The Red Cross provides lifesaving courses such as first aid, CPR and how to use an AED, so they’ll have the knowledge and confidence to act in an emergency and help save lives.

Red Cross volunteers and community partners set out to install smoke alarms in Tepe Park neighborhood. Together they installed 177 free smoke alarms and spoke with 209 residents about home fire safety.

Volunteers and staff from the Indiana Region helped those impacted by local disasters such as home fires and severe weather. They've also assisted with relief efforts in Mississippi after a tornado, Hawaii Wildfires, Hurricane Idalia and other disasters.
