American Red Cross: Los Angeles Region

A grant was provided to support American Red Cross Los Angeles Region’s PrepareLA Mission Adaptation program which supports resilience and response efforts for communities across Los Angeles County. The program equips and trains volunteers to provide preparedness, emergency, and customer safety education to diverse populations; install free smoke alarms in vulnerable communities and making emergency plans with their residents; and prepositioning material assets to safely provide food, shelter, comfort, and relief supplies to people affected by disasters of all types across Southern California. Simultaneously through this program, American Red Cross continues to prepare the most at-risk communities to be their own first responders, make strategic investments to adapt relief services, and augment capacity to help people in need, especially the most vulnerable, including: people with low incomes, disabilities, mental illnesses, chronic health concerns, access and functional needs, children, and the elderly.
