ORGANIZATION
This spring, join fellow Red Cross volunteers in more than 100 communities across the country to Sound the Alarm, a nationwide home fire safety and smoke alarm installation event. During this event, volunteers across the country will install 100,000 free smoke alarms, replace alarm batteries and help families create escape plans in high risk neighborhoods in over 100 cities.
As part of this effort, there will be a Sound the Alarm event serving the Kelso/Longview area on Saturday, May 4, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (will likely finish up earlier, depending on the number of volunteers we have).
Did you know that the American Red Cross responds to a disaster every 8 minutes, and the vast majority of these are home fires? Sadly, every day seven people die from home fires, most in homes that lack working smoke alarms, with children and the elderly disproportionately killed. That’s why the Red Cross launched the Home Fire Campaign in 2014. Since then, volunteers and partners have made over 300,000 households safer. Now we’re on the cusp of something big, and we need your help.
To register as a volunteer for the event and get additional details, please visit www.soundthealarm.org/cascades and join 24,000 volunteers across the country committed to making their local community a safer place to live!
