Madison Joins Red Cross Home Fire Preparedness Challenge

Jul 22 2015 in Madison in the Community by

Each day in the U.S., seven people die as a result of home fires, and another 36 people are injured. Madison Wealth Management is helping to spread the word about the Red Cross’s new Home Fire Preparedness challenge – #IAmPrepared.

The goal is to spread awareness via social media so everyone can “get prepared.” How can you help?

Get Prepared, Spread the Word and Save a Life!

Red Cross - I am prepared campaign

GET PREPARED

  • Educate yourself on home fires.
  • The Basics.
  • Home Fire Safety Checklist.
  • Home Fire Escape Plan.
  • Check your smoke alarms at home.
  • Create a plan for what to do in case you have a fire.
  • If you need smoke alarms installed in your home (for free) and a fire escape plan, call your local Red Cross (Cincinnati at 513-579-3003 or NoVA at 703-584-8400) and make an appointment.

SPREAD THE WORD

  •  Help us spread the word via social media. Tweet, post or share a photo or video of you and your family on your favorite social media account showing that you are ready by tagging the Cincinnati Red Cross and using the hashtag #IAmPrepared.
  • Challenge your family members, friends, neighbors, colleagues, associates, total strangers to get prepared and then share on social media that they are prepared.SAVE A LIFE
