So the other day, I was surfing around and I came across this awesome site the Red Cross set up to help people get prepared for disasters. The Be Red Cross Ready training site has a visual design that is pleasing to the eye – all of the content is very clean and organized. This makes it more appealing to more people who want preparedness tips, but don’t want to deal with the clutter of the typical Red Cross website.
In the tutorial, the site uses both visual and audio elements to walk you through the three steps of Red Cross Ready: Get a Kit, Make a Plan, and Be Informed. Say you know how to Get a Kit but you need to know how to Be Informed – a table of contents tab has been provided for you to jump around the tutorial with ease. If you want to go more in depth, a list of quick resources has been provided to help you become an preparedness expert.
So the crazy part about all of this is that I had no idea this existed – but apparently it’s been around for at least a month. You might already know about the site and have already taken the tutorial, but if not, I encourage you to check it out and Be Red Cross Ready!
