The Red Cross teaches everyday people to be lifesaving heroes through CPR, First Aid and AED training. It’s one of the ways we help prepare for and prevent emergencies.

“Someone saved my baby’s life, and I will never forget that. I can help do that for someone else.” —Courtney D.

Paying It Forward

Wyoming

Red Cross workers relay urgent messages between U.S. service members and their families through our global communication network. The Red Cross also supports military families, veterans hospitals and wounded warrior programs.

Fiscal Year 2013 includes services delivered from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013.

Preparing Wyoming

AED, water safety, babysitting and more. These courses empower the entire community to activate immediately.

Educating and Preparing for Tomorrow

“Everyone in the community expects Red Cross volunteers to show up in a crisis.” —Betty R.

When disaster strikes, Red Cross workers are ready to provide a place to sleep, warm meals, clothing, counseling and hope. We also train volunteers, scout shelter locations and pre-position supplies to be able to respond faster.

Bringing Relief, Offering HopeYou Can Make a Difference

The Wyoming Red Cross provided 438 emergency communication services to local members of the armed forces and sent 100 care packages.

In Fiscal Year 2013, the Wyoming Red Cross trained 14,135 people in lifesaving skills like CPR.

The Wyoming Red Cross trained 1,843 individuals in disaster preparedness so they can be more resilient in the face of disasters.

The Wyoming Red Cross responded to 60 disasters, helped 76 families and sheltered 209.

In addition to responding to disasters and emergencies, the Red Cross helps people prepare for and prevent them. Individuals, families, businesses and organizations that prepare are better able to withstand and bounce back after disaster strikes.

We can’t control the forces in life—the power of a blizzard, the slowing beat of a pulse, the devastation

for and respond to such events, and the American Red Cross helps Wyoming residents before, during and after emergencies.

affecting many, the Red Cross responds with food, shelter and care. We prepare for emergencies with training and practical action plans.

With such a large state to cover, we do this work through the dedication of local volunteers spread throughout Wyoming – people who answer the call for help 24/7 and who utilize today’s technology for training, outreach and support.

You can join our team by volunteering, getting trained or supporting the Red Cross in Wyoming.
