Yard work this weekend?

Don’t skip the easy stuff that helps keep you protected.

Pets follow you everywhere. In an emergency, that doesn’t change. Do you have what they need in an emergency?

[Red Cross of Alabama @RedCrossAL]

Before your calendar fills up with cookouts and road trips, make time to help save lives.

Come to give blood or platelets June 1-28 and get a $15 e-gift card to the merchant of your choice as our thank-you.

Did you know?

Fire extinguishers use letters to show what they’re for.

A = ordinary materials
B = flammable liquids
C = electrical

Check your label so you have the right one in the right place.

DYK...The Red Cross has 1000's of volunteers helping in communities every day who have never deployed to a disaster?

Service looks different than most people think. 🩵

Now is the time to check your plan and your emergency kit before hurricane season starts next week.

[Red Cross of Alabama @RedCrossAL]

After a disaster, the question is always the same: how can I help?

Start by getting ready before the next one.

If you're headed to the coast this weekend, pay attention to the beach flags.

They're an important way to get a quick read on conditions before you get in.

It's easy to hear "flash flood" and picture some other area.

Sometimes it's the road you take all the time.

Check the weather alerts for your area before you head home.

What’s something small that helped you through a difficult season of life?

[Red Cross of Alabama @RedCrossAL]

After a disaster, people always want to know how they can help.

One answer: get ready before the next one.

If the grill is part of your Memorial Day weekend plans, keep it outside, keep it away from anything that can burn and keep an eye on it once it's lit.

Most grill fires start with something simple getting missed.

We tried starting an emergency kit without spending too much. Turns out, you can get pretty far with a short shopping trip and a little planning.

Start with what you can, then build from there.

The yard always looks less hot from inside the house.

Take water with you before you head outside.

[Red Cross of Alabama @RedCrossAL]

Pick one thing you'd be annoyed to figure out during an emergency and handle it today.

Flashlight? Batteries? Family plan? Phone charger you can actually find?

Start there.

By the time you park, your brain may already be inside the store.

Before you get out and move on the the next thing, check the backseat.

[Red Cross of Alabama @RedCrossAL]

You may not know your perfect role yet.

That's ok. Start before the next emergency, not during it.
