American Red Cross Pillowcase Project prepares students for emergencies


Each year, volunteers from the American Red Cross take the mes- sage of preparedness to schools, scout troops, church groups and other student organizations across the state. “We have volunteers who go in


and teach the kids how to prepare for and cope with emergencies,” says Lori McFarlane, regional com- munications director for the American Red Cross. As part of the program, each

student creates an emergency kit. “We bring pillowcases and the


kids draw the things that matter most on them. They can put a fl ashlight and a water bottle in- side,” McFarlane says. “It’s a fun project that gives them power.” Last year, the program reached


4,500 Oklahoma students. “When you think about all those kids knowing what to do, and then going home and telling their par- ents—that’s affecting a lot of fam- ilies,” McFarlane says. For more information about the
