Emergency Preparedness Presentations
The American Red Cross of Central California offers a variety of virtual and in-person programs to help adults and children better prepare for emergencies.
Prepare with Pedro is a 30- to 45-minute preparedness education program for grades K-2 that teaches students how to BE PREPARED and TAKE ACTION for either home fires or a local hazard. Prepare with Pedro compliments The Pillowcase Project in scope and mission, by reading a story featuring a penguin named Pedro.
Be Red Cross Ready presentations will be the first Wednesday of each month from 6:00 - 6:45 p.m., and Hands-Only CPR presentations will be the second Friday of each month from 3:00 - 3:30 p.m. Attendees can choose which disaster preparedness topics they'd like covered and can choose to also become future Hands-Only CPR presenters by staying on for some additional training.
Ready Rating is a free, web-based membership program designed to help businesses and organizations become better prepared for emergencies by assessing current readiness levels and providing customized recommendations. For more information, register for an informational presentation.
