• American Red Cross Central Illinois Chapter—Safety Tip Library

The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors. Since our founding by Clara Barton in 1881, the Red Cross has been the nation’s premier emergency response organization. Our core mission is to provide relief to victims of disaster and to help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Over the years, we have expanded our services, always with the aim of preventing and relieving suffering. In addition to aiding victims of disasters — whether fires or floods, hurricanes or tornadoes, winter storms or wildfires — the Red Cross also:

• Educates children and adults about personal safety and disaster prevention.
• Teaches lifesaving skills, such as CPR.
• Collects and distributes blood.
• Provides comfort and a critical communications link to military members and their families.

The Red Cross is a charitable humanitarian organization, not a government agency. We depend on volunteers and public generosity to fulfill our mission.

Carle’s Center for Rural Health and Farm Safety promotes agricultural health and safety to our rural neighbors and helps prepare pre-hospital and emergency medicine providers to respond quickly and effectively to farming incidents and injuries. Farmers can also participate in the Center’s Emergency Action Tube program. Once data collection is completed, this tube is maintained on the farm to provide valuable information to first responders. Visit the Center’s web site for more information.
