Disaster Season
Tens of millions of people have been impacted by recent U.S.
hurricanes. Many saw their homes flooded, roofs blown off or windows
shattered, and some lost it all-their homes were destroyed entirely.

Sound The Alarm -Our Major
Preparedness Effort
• Nationally and locally, the American Red Cross is putting great
effort into the installation of smoke alarms. Home fires on a
daily basis cause more damage and more fatalities than all
other disasters combined.
• In Santa Clara County we install smoke alarms in specific
neighborhoods on a monthly basis in ·collaboration with local
authorities and local fire departments.
• Sound The Alarm is a special effort, when during three dates we
will install over 1000 smoke alarms. We need as much help as
possible and would love to work with volunteers from your city.
