Take The Prevention Wheel

At the American Red Cross, we focus quite a bit on preventing, preparing for, and responding to emergencies that can occur in our homes or workplaces, as we should.  Recently, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has implemented a campaign to remind all of us of another frequent emergency location – the roads.  

The IFRC reports that road-related emergencies kill about 3,000 people a day; that is equal to one person every two minutes. We have the power of prevention in our hands.  The IFRC has published a commitment card for those of us on the road to read and take to heart.
