Be Red Cross Ready!

Welcome to the Oktibbeha County Chapter of the American Red Cross. We have served Oktibbeha County for over 84 years. Since our beginning, we have grown to over 150 volunteers. Our chapter offers all American Red Cross services to Oktibbeha County, and also teaches Health and Safety courses in Winston, Choctaw, Webster, and Attala counties.

The American Red Cross is a trusted source for emergency preparedness information. Our recommendations are taken as the industry standard and followed by many chapters, external agencies and organizations from national to local levels. We determine these recommendations based upon the most accepted research from federal agencies, partner organizations and research institutions.

 Actions you should take to be prepared in emergencies are: 

  1. Get a Kit:  Have at least three days of supplies in an easy-to-carry evacuation kit, with additional supplies on hand.  Remember to check your kit and replace the stock every six months.
  1. Make a Plan.  Planning ahead will help you have the best possible response to disaster.
  1. Be informed.  Know what may happen and how you can help.
  1. Have at least one member of your household trained in CPR/First Aid.

Check www.redcross.org for the Safe and Well Website, a tool that enables you to communicate with family during emergency situations.

 For more information on preparedness, contact the Oktibbeha County Red Cross Office at 323-4621.
