The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
Each day, thousands of people – people just like you – provide compassionate care to those in need. Our network of generous donors, volunteers and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering, here at home and around the world.
We roll up our sleeves and donate time, money and blood. We learn or teach life-saving skills so our communities can be better prepared when the need arises. We do this every day because the Red Cross is needed - every day.
AVIRT stands for Active Violence Immediate Response Training. AVIRT prepares your organization to respond to active violence and goes beyond active shooter response training with lessons in emergency bleeding control. Created for the general public by experts in both law enforcement and medicine, AVIRT’s active approach to learning will have a positive impact on your team’s level of emergency training and preparedness.
At the Emergency Care & Safety Institute, we believe there’s a better way to
offer CPR and first aid training. We’ve been working closely with emergency
care educators and students for over 15 years and see how hard you work to
ensure our communities are safe.
