Content Background
Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Planning
Learn why businesses should have an emergency preparedness plan and how to protect your business operations in the event of a disaster. Covers typical disasters in Minnesota, what can happen in a disaster, the Red Cross response and how businesses can be prepared.

Ready When the Time Comes
Ready When the Time Comes is a program of the American Red Cross. The purpose is to prepare teams of corporate employees to be ready immediately to help in a time of a local, large-scale disaster. RWTC volunteers serve as “reserves” that can be called when disaster response requires more than the normal corps of chapter volunteers.

Are Your Employees Ready for An Emergency?
Is your company in compliance with OSHA standards for first aid training and emergency preparedness? Learn why health and safety training is important with today’s aging workforce from CPR to first aid to automated external defibrillators.
