Earlier this week, the Red Cross visited the WBKR studios to conduct CPR training. Dave Spencer and I hadn't been certified since way back in high school when we were required to get jiggy with Resusci Anne! After completing our training (with these little guys who look like they escaped the BLUE MAN GROUP), we decided to share our new skills with YOU to demonstrate the importance of CPR and how it can truly SAVE LIVES!! And, at the end of the video, we let you know how YOU can take part in RED CROSS training too!

Red Cross Emergency Shelter Update – 05/05/11

(Evansville) – Many areas affected by rising water are seeing roads open up as some of the water recedes, however per the latest hydrological report many rivers & creek beds will not start to show a significant drop for several more days. As a result, the American Red Cross has been able to close some shelters, while others remain open. All shelters in the community remain on alert

Red Cross Flooding Update

Well, you don't need me to tell you . . . but the rain, rain WON'T GO AWAY and flooding problems continue throughout the tri-state. School systems have dismissed classes, flood waters continue to cover local roadways and highways, dozens of families are displaced, many have homes completely surrounded by water and the volunteers at the American Red Cross are working around the clock to offer flood relief to the area.

Here in the tri-state, we are staring down flooding levels not seen since 1997. And, as rain and storms continue, the problems continue to get worse. This morning, I had the chance to chat with my friend, Malissa Troutman with the American Red Cross, about how you can GET help if you need it and how you can GIVE help if you are able. Take a listen . . .
