American Red Cross Responds to Wisconsin Floods July-26-2010

Flood, fire and wind created a whirlwind disaster response activity for multiple American Red Cross Chapters across the state. Throughout Wisconsin, trained volunteers have traveled across the state to open shelters, distribute clean-up kits, conduct disaster assessments and support the emergency needs of those affected by the storms. Red Cross volunteers have also supported emergency crews with water, Gatorade, snacks and shelter.

All disaster assistance is free. For instance, clean-up kits are being distributed at Red Cross offices as well as by volunteers going door-to-door. Each kit includes a variety of clean-up items such as squeegee, mop, bleach, gloves, and more.

Please consider making a donation to our National Disaster Relief Fund to help the people affected across the state of Wisconsin. Three ways to donate include:

Health and Safety

For nearly a century, the American Red Cross has prepared people to save lives through health and safety education and training. From First Aid, CPR/AED and Bloodborne Pathogens training to Lifeguarding and Babysitter's Training programs that help people lead safer and healthier lives. The Red Cross constantly strives to respond to the preparedness concerns of Americans at home, in school and in the workplace. Today's innovative programs also include teaching lay persons and professionals how to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to save victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Last year, nearly 11 million people enrolled in American Red Cross health and safety courses.

The Badger Chapter offers three options for training:

Community Classes - open to the general public

Workplace/Full Service Classes - group and organization training courses
