Preparedness - An everyday task for everday life
Being prepared for emergencies is crucial at home, school, work and in your community. Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood, workplace, or school or can confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services - water, gas, electricity, or even telephone service were cut off?
Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. The best way to make you and your family safer is to be prepared before disaster strikes. We encourage you to:
- Get a Kit
- Make a Plan
- Be Informed
Come join us on March 1st in Potsdam at the A.A. Kingston Middle School and March 15th in Watertown at the Red Cross office located at 203 North Hamilton Street for a special seminar on Disaster Preparedness. This is an opportunity for you to receive some valuable information that will help protect you and your family at no cost to you. The seminars are scheduled to begin at 12:00 PM , immediately following the Save-a-Life Saturday CPR classes, at each location and they are FREE to anyone interested.
Disaster Services
Each year The American Red Cross responds immediately to more than 75,000 disasters. including house or apartment fires (the majority of disaster responses), hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornados, hazardous materials spills, transportation accidents, explosions, and other natural and man-made disasters.
The Good News is That We Can Help!
Although the American Red Cross is not a government agency, its authority to provide disaster releif was formalized when, in 1905, the Red Cross was chartered by Congress to "carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and apply the same in mitigating the sufferings caued by pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and other great national calamities, and to devise and carry on mesures for preventing the same." The Charter is not only a grant of power, but also an imposition of duties and obligations to the nation, to diaster victims, and to the people who generously support its work with their donations.
Red Cross disaster relief focuses on meeting people's immediate emergency disaster-caused needs. When a disaster threatens or strikes, the Red Cross provides shelter, food, as well as health and mental health services to address basic human needs. In addition to these services, the core of Red Cross disaster relief is the assistance given to individuals and families affected by disaster to enable them toresume their normal daily activities independently.

American Red Cross Offers Tips to Prevent Home Fires
The U.S. Fire Administration has reported that each year 47,000 fires occur nationally during the holidays claiming more than 500 lives, causing more than 2,200 injuries, and costing $554 million in property damage. Many of these fires are caused by home heating sources, unattended cooking, and candles.
"Approximately 93 percent of all Red Cross disaster responses in 2007 were fire related. Many home fires can be prevented, and that's what makes this type of disaster so devastating," said Darlene Sparks, Washington Director for Preparedness at the American Red Cross.
The Red Cross recommends the following to prevent home fires:

Today's American Red Cross is keeping pace with the changing military.
Using the latest in computer and telecommunications technology, the Red Cross sends communications on behalf of family members who are facing emergencies or other important events to members of the U.S. Armed Forces serving all over the world.
While providing services to 1.4 million active duty personnel and their families, the Red Cross also reaches out to more than 800,000 members of the National Guard and the Reserves and their families who reside in nearly every community in America.
Red Cross workers in hundreds of chapters and on military installations brief departing service members and their families regarding available support services and explain how the Red Cross may assist them during the deployment. Both active duty and community-based military can count on the Red Cross to provide emergency communications that link them with their families back home, access to financial assistance, counseling and assistance to veterans. Red Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services personnel work in nearly 900 chapters in the United States, on 74 military installations around the world and with our troops in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq.
