Day and night, the Red Cross offered a helping hand and understanding ear to people in Alaska—whether it was bringing relief and hope to families picking up the pieces following a disaster; providing support and care for our military members, veterans and their loved ones; or providing lifesaving First Aid/CPR/AED classes to those who need them. While meeting these immediate needs, trained Red Cross volunteers also partnered with fire departments, community groups and corporations to install free smoke alarms and to teach our neighborslifesaving preparedness skills in our first annual Sound the Alarm national event.

Over a busy year in Alaska, our community volunteers and local partners stepped up time and again, joining with the Red Cross to bring vital assistance to people in need. In this report, you will learn more about the wide variety

772 volunteers and the generous support of donors like you.

The Red Cross mission is to prevent and alleviate human suffering – a work that is carried out by 772 volunteers daily. In responding to 308 disasters last fiscal year, the Red Cross of Alaska provided food, shelter and comfort to individuals andfamilies in need, as well as casework and recovery assistance for disaster survivors. All Red Cross disaster assistance is free.

In the state of Alaska, with our deep local presence and community knowledge, we stand ready to respond alongside our partners should the need arise. Additionally, we can call on the support of Red Cross chapters nationwide for resources to help our neighbors in need following large-scale disasters.

While we are always prepared to respond to disasters, we also work to prevent them. Swift action when an emergency occurs can save a life, so we help families, organizations and corporations become better prepared for crises through free

courses, including 19,260 people enrolled in first aid/CPR/AED and 536 people who attended our community disastereducation and preparedness programs.
