Arcadia Hosts Red Cross Disaster Preparedness Seminar
In honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service on Monday, Jan. 16, Arcadia University is hosting an American Red Cross seminar on disaster relief. The seminar—which is free and open to the public—will provide a comprehensive introduction to disaster preparedness.
The seminar will include background on the Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the Red Cross and on disaster preparedness specific to the Philadelphia Region and its unique potential for disasters such as flooding. Red Cross hurricane aid workers also will share their eyewitness accounts of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
Interested students, staff, faculty and community members will have the opportunity to learn how they can become volunteers for the American Red Cross. Volunteer applications and disaster preparedness brochures will be available.
The seminar will be held in The Chat located on the first floor of the Dining Complex, from 10 a.m. to noon on Jan. 16. Donations of toiletries will be collected for a local shelter. For more information or to register, contact Arcadia’s Community Service Office at 215-572-4000 or e-mail rubino@arcadia.edu.
