Step Six: Learn Lifesaving Skills

In the event of a disaster or emergency, emergency medical response may be slowed. Knowing what to do in an emergency situation can greatly reduce the severity of an injury and possibly even save a life.

In addition to creating your disaster plan and building your kit, you and your family shoul get certified in American Red Cross lifesaving courses such as First Aid and CPR/AED.

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter offers many courses that are designed for a variety of age groups. For more information call your local American Red Cross at 1-800-42-Cross
