The sun was shining, colorful tress lined Fort Vancouver and hundreds gathered. It was a beautiful day to celebrate and thank our veterans in the Vancouver Veterans Day Parade. Today, over 30 youth Red Cross volunteers from Southwest Washington high schools joined to honor those who have served. 🇺🇸

Please join us in honoring the Veterans who continue to serve our country with us 🤍

Hey Woodburn, thank you for letting us into your community over the weekend! With the help of 38 volunteers, we served 56 homes, 185 people and installed 211 smoke alarms!

It's a joy to help make our community members homes safer with the help of our partners @woodburnfire21 and the local Community Emergency Response Team.

Red Crossers took part in a National Transportation Safety Board’s workshop. When major transportation accidents occur, the NTSB partners with the Red Cross to provide resources like supporting a Family Assistance Center. We hope we never experience a disaster like this but it's good to know we have these partnerships in place if we do.

Who's your pick of the Big 10? 🏈 This competition in partnership with Abbott is a little different from the others because in this one, everyone wins! You get a special University of Oregon shirt and get to say that you're a hero 🦸 and the winning school receives a million dollar grant to advance student/community health!

These Nike employees showed up, rolled their sleeves and say "yes" to saving lives. Will you join them? Go to https://t.co/D5L0XGiISR to find a blood drive near you 🩸

Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday. Make sure your TEST your smoke alarms as you TURN your clocks back.

QUICK REVIEW:
• Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, including inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas.
• Test your smoke alarms once a month and replace the batteries at least once a year if your model requires it.
• Make sure everyone knows two ways to escape from every room in your home and where to meet outside.
• Have your chimney cleaned and checked once a year, and use a metal or glass fireplace screen to help keep embers contained.

Red Cross volunteers from the Cascades Region are still on the ground in Guam, helping the people affected by Super Typhoon Champi. At the height of the storm, we supported 15 shelters and we continue to provide shelter and feeding along with damage assessment in the neighborhoods led by a strong support team behind the scenes.
Champi is the third typhoon to hit the islands in just the last six months and we know it’s been a rough year for these folks.
Thank you to Alan, Julia, Mike, Patrick, Brandy, Chuck, Susan and the other volunteers who made the 20-hour trip to help.

Hey SW Washington Red Cross volunteers, we see you!
Volunteers have been training since wildfire season so they can be ready the next time disaster strikes. That includes learning about feeding protocol, shelter management, setting up cots, and trailer inventory.
More than 20 students in all showed up to learn how they can play a role.
"I am so glad we were able to host these trainings because the better we train and prepare, the better we can respond to disasters in our community. We rely on our volunteers to help us do that," says Community Program Disaster Manager Nora Mattingly.
A big thanks to our partner St Andrew's Lutheran Church for giving us the space to learn.
