Volunteer
READY WHEN THE TIME COMES (RWTC) is a program of the American Red Cross that provides volunteers from partner companies and community organizations to be immediately ready to help in the time of a local, large scale disaster. RWTC volunteers serve as “reserves” that can be called up when disaster response requires more than the normal corps of local disaster volunteers.
-
Train Your Employees
Medical emergencies and accidents on the job cost American companies billion of dollars each year in lost wages, health care expenses, lawsuits and worker's compensation claims. Reduce these costs by teaching your employees how to prevent workplace emergencies and how to properly respond to them when they do occur.
