As part of our mission, the Calhoun County Chapter of the American Red Cross teaches people how to prepare for disasters. This is accomplished through the Community Disaster Education (CDE) program.
As part of the CDE program, Red Cross volunteers go onsite to local schools, community groups, churches, workplaces, senior centers and service clubs to teach people how to prepare for, and react to, disasters such as house and apartment fires, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and floods.
