Thousands of people every day suffer injury as the result of an accident or sudden illness such as heart attack, stroke and emergencies in and around the water. It can happen anywhere, on the street, in the home, at work, at a restaurant. If you ever find yourself in one of these situations, you need to know who to call, and what to do until help arrives.

The American Red Cross offers a variety of training courses and products that can help you save a life, prevent injury or reduce the affects of sudden illness and other life-threatening emergencies. The department that administers these education programs is often called Health and Safety.

The American Red Cross also trains individuals for response to local and national disasters such as house fires and hurricanes. This page is dedicated to Health and Safety training classes.  If you are interested in viewing the course schedule of disaster response training classes or getting more information about our disaster response program click the above link.
