In conjunction with September as National Preparedness Month, the Palo Alto Area chapter of the American Red Cross is hosting a variety of events geared toward bringing the preparedness message home to local residents.
The chapter encourages all residents to take the five steps in preparedness: make a plan, build a kit, get trained, volunteer and give blood. Together with the Stanford Blood Center and other partners, the local Red Cross has planned activities throughout the month. They include:
• Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Palo Alto Airport Open House
• Monday, 3-7 p.m., blood drive, St. Joseph Church, 582 Hope St., Mountain View
• Sept. 18, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., YMCA Preparedness Fair with “Together We Prepare: Preparing for the Unexpected” free workshop, 3412 Ross Road, Palo Alto.
