From Oct. 7-13, the American Red
Cross helped families and business-
es learn how to protect themselves
and others from fires in observance
of National Fire Prevention Week.
Last year, the Red Cross responded
to about 63,000 home fires across the
country by providing comfort and ba-
sic necessities to more than 82,000
families.
"We respond to about one home
fire every nine minutes across the
country. The best thing you can do to
protect your loved ones is to install a
smoke alarm and developland prac-
tice a fire escape plan," said Tracy
Peacock, American Red Cross Mount
Rainier Chapter Executive. "Fires
can spread very quickly, so every-
one at home, school and work should
know what to do when they hear the
sound of a smoke alarm."
Additional recommendations in-
clude:
• Install smoke alarms on every
level of the house and inside bed-
rooms.
• Replace batteries in smoke
alarms at least once a year. Test each
alarm monthly by pushing the test
button.
• Ensure that household members
know two ways to escape from every
room and designate a place to meet
outside of your house in case of a fire.
Practice your plan at least twice a
year.
• Follow your escape plan in case
of fire. Get out, stay out, and call 911
or the local emergency number.
• Download the American Red
Cross First Aid App to get access to
life-saving information on what to do
for common, everyday first aid emer-
gencies. The app is available in the
Apple App Store and on Google Play
for Android.
Visit www.redcross.org/homefires
for additional fire safety tips.
Business, too, should be prepared.
Fire is the most common of all busi-
ness disasters. According to the
United State Fire Association, non-
residential building fires resulted in
$2.4 billion in losses in 2010. Compa-
nies, schools and other organizations
can learn how to prepare for fires
and other emergencies by becoming a
member of the Red Cross Ready Rat-
ing Program at www.readyrating.
org. Complete a free, online assess-
ment of your current readiness lev-
el and receive customized feedback
with tips to improve preparedness.
In addition to helping families and
businesses prepare their homes and
facilities for potential fires, the Red
Cross is there to help those m need
when fires break out. Mount Raini-
er's Emergency Services responded
to 144 local disasters last year, help-
ing 187 families with food, shelter
and other emergency assistance.
In September this year, the lo-
cal Red Cross provided groceries,
clothes, shoes and hotel stays for
several families whose homes were
destroyed or damaged by house
fires.
"In order to continue responding
to disasters like fires at homes and
businesses here in the Puget Sound,
the Red Cross depends on the gener-
ous support of individuals and busi-
nesses in the community," added
Peacock. "To donate please go online
to www.redcross.org/tacoma or text
RED CROSS to 9099."
The American Red Cross shel-
ters, feeds and provides emotional
support to victims of disasters; sup-
plies about 40 percent of the nation's
blood; teaches skills that save lives;
provides international humanitarian
aid; and supports military members
and their families.
The Red Cross is a not-for-profit
organization that depends on volun-
teers and the generosity of the Amer-
ican public to perform its mission.

ington ShakeOut Earth-

pic College Bremerton,

ticipating.
Visitors, students and

cial gathering point after
leaving a building.
Campus wide "Big Voice"
announcements will be
made over the loud speak-
ers inside buildings and
around the college to signal
the beginning and end of
the exercise. The college's
building safety coordina-
tors will conduct building
sweeps to ensure that all
have evacuated. Instruc-
tors at the college will coor-
dinate the safe and orderly
movement of their classes
to the designated gather-
Olympic College would
like to help inform em-
ployees, students and visi-
tors that the drill will be
taking place. As soon as
the exercise concludes, all
previously scheduled and
in-progress meetings and
classes will resume.
