Disaster Response

Crisis prevention and recovery are at the forefront of building sustainable communities. That’s why we feel it is essential to help communities to prepare for disaster and respond immediately when needed and ease the burden of those most affected.

MAKING FIRE SAFETY A PRIORITY
in partnership with American Red Cross

Did you know that seven times a day, someone in the United States dies in a home fire? In fact, more people die in home fires each year than in many major natural disasters. With the help and support of Astellas USA Foundation, the American Red Cross^® is canvasing neighborhoods - particularly communities most at risk for a fire - installing smoke detectors and educating about fire prevention. Home fires don’t impact everyone equally. Low-income, elderly, disabled and youth populations are all more likely to be severely affected by a fire in their home than the general population. Special emphasis is placed on these populations most vulnerable to home fires.
