    Description

    Be a Red Cross Ready Instructor

    Be Red Cross Ready Instructors represent the American Red Cross in their community by teaching free preparedness education. The curriculum helps people understand, prepare for, and respond to disasters. Instructors aim to reduce perceived barriers to taking preparedness actions by focusing on a step-by-step approach that is manageable, action-oriented, and affordable. Topics covered by Be Red Cross Ready Instructors include an introductory module on emergency preparedness and additional modules about relevant local hazards: home fire, hurricane, earthquake, flood, tsunami, tornado, wildfire, extreme heat, thunderstorm, winter storm, volcano, and landslide.
