Replace smoke alarms that are 10 years or older. Components such as sensors can become less sensitive over time. Follow your manufacturer's instructions.

Type O donors: We need you to help meet patient needs! O+ is the most transfused blood type & can be used by patients of any Rh-positive blood type. O- is the universal blood type & is often used in emergencies. Don't wait. Make an appointment to donate. https://t.co/AqAnAEo3tX

More type O blood donors are needed now to keep up with hospital demand. You can help ensure that hospitals are ready for patient emergencies and everyday needs. Give: https://t.co/AqAnAEo3tX

Volunteers are back in neighborhoods impacted by last week’s flooding in Omaha, delivering lunch, checking in with residents and offering support as families continue the difficult process of recovery. We’re grateful for our volunteers who continue to show up for our neighbors.

It's Fire Prevention Week. Do you have working smoke alarms installed inside and outside bedrooms and on each level of your home, including the basement?

Special thanks to the volunteers who joined our pass-the-bucket event at the #Husker game on Saturday! Also, thank you to @UNLincoln for their support and continued partnership.

[Nebraska/SW Iowa Red Cross @neiaredcross]

As recovery continues, we will work directly with residents to identify their needs, determine next steps and help connect families with available resources.
The Red Cross will continue to be there, helping our neighbors move forward one step at a time.

[Nebraska/SW Iowa Red Cross @neiaredcross]

Red Cross volunteers continue to help families recover from flooding across the Omaha metro. So far, we’ve served 1,500+ meals and snacks and distributed 760+ cleanup and relief supplies, while helping residents navigate the road to recovery.

[Nebraska/SW Iowa Red Cross @neiaredcross]

Start Fire Prevention Week off by creating a home fire escape plan with your household. Home fires can strike quickly and leave you with as little as two minutes to safely escape.

After you have your plan, practice it!

[Nebraska/SW Iowa Red Cross @neiaredcross]

For Omaha-area families affected by flooding, recovery can feel overwhelming. Red Cross volunteers are in impacted neighborhoods helping residents take the first steps forward and reminding them they’re not alone. Read more about the Red Cross response: https://t.co/kI1T8GvUTD
