American Red Cross Month On February 20, the American Red Cross launched a nationwide
campaign to help Americans prepare for emerging threats and
disasters before they happen. The Together
We Prepare campaign encourages individuals and families
to take five proactive steps toward safety. Every year families
of military members send emergency messages to their enlisted
loved ones, millions of Americans are trained in lifesaving
first aid and CPR courses, many of patients receive blood, and
the victims of more than 67,000 disasters are given financial
assistance . These are just a few of the humanitarian accomplishments
celebrated during March, the official American Red Cross month.
