American Red Cross To Offer Virtual Emergency Preparedness ‘Pillowcase Project’ For Kids

Register now for this virtual program!

 (Indianapolis, Ind.) - The American Red Cross is inviting Indiana children to participate in a virtual emergency preparedness program. 

The Pillowcase Project is opening to all students grades 3-5 and aims to increase kids’ awareness and understanding of natural hazards as well as teach safety, emotional coping skills, and personal preparedness. 

While all students across the state have moved to online learning, the Indiana Region of the American Red Cross has adapted the emergency preparedness curriculum, typically presented in classrooms, to a virtual format. This will ensure that the children will have the opportunity to learn this critical information. 

This program features interactive lessons focused on home fire prevention and safety and other potential hazards, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. Lessons are based on what might occur in the local community where the class is being taught.

To attend this virtual program, you must register at https://redcross1.webex.com/redcross1/onstage/g.php?MTID=e20cfca542462497d38cd8ae9ad1a5eca

The Pillowcase Project will be held on Thursday, May 21, from 10:30–11:30 a.m.
