American Red Cross Partnership

At a recent board meeting of the American Red Cross, our owner, Carlos Olvera came back with some very useful current information on the upgrades the ARC has been using to help with disaster relief preparedness.  Please visit their URL at https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies.html. Not only do they describe in detail life saving practices for a disaster, but they have also upgraded to include the technology of Alexa in their efforts to protect the community. Accessing life-saving information and tools from the Red Cross is easier than ever. Their award winning suite of free smartphone apps already put Red Cross content at your fingertips. Now, all you have to do is ask Alexa! Skills for Alexa now include critical first aid instruction and important hurricane safety information.  Red Cross blood donors can use Alexa to schedule blood donations on Alexa-enabled devices.
