The American Red Cross of the Central Valley provides several services to those in need, including disaster response, preparedness classes, assistance to armed forces, and international aid. Some of their key initiatives include installing smoke alarms to prevent home fire deaths, educating students on fire safety, training people in CPR and first aid, collecting blood donations, and responding to thousands of disasters each year, most of which are home fires. Residents can help by volunteering, donating, or downloading the Red Cross mobile app to help prepare for emergencies.
