Here's where to start: ❤️ Learn hands-only CPR 📍 Locate AEDs in your home, workplace and community 📚 Take a CPR class — in person or online Every second counts.

🐶 Taking your furry friend for a ride this summer? 🚗 Keep them safe by never leaving them locked in the car — even for a quick errand! On warm days, temperatures inside a vehicle can climb to 120 degrees or higher in minutes (even in the shade). That kind of heat can quickly lead to heat stroke or worse for your pet. If you need to make a stop, it’s safest to leave your pets at home. ❤️ Find more summer pet safety tips visit RedCross.org/PetTravelSafety
