Be trained in First Aid and CPR. This training will be invaluable to treating survivable injuries or even aid in supporting life while awaiting the arrival of professional emergency services.

Your local American Red Cross offers courses and training programs to teach people how to save a life and to help neighbors who have been impacted by disaster. Last year alone, the Connecticut Greater Hartford Chapter certified more than 30,000 students in standard First Aid/CPR.

The American Red Cross recommends the following training for all capable family members:

Take a First Aid and CPR class.

Learn how to use a fire extinguisher.

Locate household utility valve shutoffs and know and when to turn off gas, electricity and water.

Learn how to access optional water sources within the house.
