If it were your dad, your sister, or someone you couldn't imagine losing, you'd want blood to be there before they need it.
That's what donors help make happen. Today, we're saying thank you.❤️

Some of our best communications team members aren't employees.
They're retired teachers, journalists, marketers, photographers, writers and storytellers who volunteer a few hours each week to help share the Red Cross mission.

They can't tell you when something's wrong.
That's why you need to know what to look for and how to help. 🐾

Hot is one thing. Hot and humid is another.
Watch that "feels like" number this week. Keep water close, cool off in the A/C when you can and check on someone who may need it.

A lot of the advice people still pass around about ticks just isn’t right.
If you find one, it’s better to use tweezers, pull it out cleanly, and then clean the area.

Not all fire extinguishers are the same.
Different fires need different types.
Check the label. Make sure it’s the right one for the room.

DYK...The Red Cross has 1000's of volunteers helping in communities every day who have never deployed to a disaster?
Service looks different than most people think. 🩵

If your urine starts looking more like apple juice than lemonade… your body is asking for water.
Heat dehydration can sneak up fast this time of year. Stay hydrated, especially if you’re spending time outdoors.

Make waves to a blood drive near you! When you come to give blood May 18-31, you’ll pick up an exclusive Red Cross beach towel, perfect for every sunny day (while they last). Hurry up and book your appointment: rcblood.org/appt

Weather can look fin in one place and turn quickly a few miles away.
Keep an eye on conditions today and tonight, especially before you drive.

Rain doesn't make the grill an indoor appliance.
If your Memorial Day cookout gets rained out, change how you're cooking. Don't move the grill somewhere it doesn't belong.

What’s something small that helped you through a difficult season of life?

You hope you never need EMS.
But if you do, you're glad someone is ready to show up and knows what to do.
This EMS week, we're saying thank you to the responders across Mississippi who are there when it matters. ❤️

After a disaster, people always want to know how they can help.
One answer: get ready before the next one.
