Jacksonville – To get ready for hurricane season, individuals and families should take a few key steps now: build an emergency kit with essential supplies, create and practice an evacuation plan, and stay informed by downloading the free Red Cross Emergency app, which offers shelter locations, safety tips, and a step-by-step family disaster plan. Preparation today can make all the difference when a storm is on the way.
The American Red Cross prepares year-round by training volunteers, pre-positioning relief supplies, coordinating with local and state emergency partners, and reviewing response plans across hurricane-prone regions. These proactive steps help ensure we can respond quickly when disaster strikes.
There are many ways people can get involved—volunteer to support shelters or disaster response, make a donation to help fund relief efforts, or share preparedness information within your community. Visit www.redcross.org to learn more. Together, we can help ensure our communities are #RedCrossReady.
