The American Red Cross encourages the public to download its Emergency App in anticipation of an active hurricane season and wildfires in parts of the Southeast in the months ahead.
Patti Duckworth, Executive Director of the Northeast Georgia chapter, attests that now is the time to prepare for any type of disaster with the app.
Interested parties may download the app at www.redcross.org/apps or from Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
The Red Cross continues to search for volunteers to assist with disaster relief efforts, service to armed forces, biomedical, and more. Training is provided to those willing to serve, says Duckworth.
Duckworth has been serving as the interim leader for the Northwest Georgia chapter of the American Red Cross over the past couple of months. She will soon depart from that post as the chapter will welcome longtime Red Cross employee Tina Dean as its new Executive Director on May 27th.
