March NAPO Nashville Chapter Meeting
Program: Disaster Preparedness with Kelly Ferrell
Are You RED-y and Prepared?
You never know when a disaster may occur but you can be prepared when they do. Join us to hear from Kelly Ferrell, Disaster Program Manager for the Nashville Area Chapter of the American Red Cross, as she shares her vast knowledge on how to prepare for a disaster as well as how to ensure our own or client organizations are ready for what may come. Kelly’s presentation will include:
Be Red Cross Ready Disaster Preparedness
Floods, hurricanes, wildfires and tornadoes are becoming more frequent and can be devastating to our loved ones, homes and communities. Be Red Cross Ready is designed to help people understand, prepare for and respond appropriately to disasters. Build confidence by learning simple steps you can take now, to help prepare and protect your family.
Ready Rating
Ready Rating is a program designed to help us prepare our businesses, schools and organizations for disasters and other emergencies. Ready Rating is a free program where members can take an online assessment to help measure their current readiness. Based on their score, members can receive immediate customized feedback along with resources and tools to help take important preparedness steps.
