It's been a great summer so far-the youth department has attended more than 30 camps and there's more coming up. A lot of teens in Indianapolis have asked how they can become CPR/AED and first aid certified. The answer is simple!
You can visit the local chapter website, which is posted below to view upcoming classes and register online:

Enjoy the rest of your summers and we look forward to seeing you when the school year starts!

Be Prepared for Heat Waves!
Hello Indy! It's been a scorcher this week, so everyone at the American Red Cross of Greater Indianapolis wants to make sure you're prepared so you don't suffer from heat exhaustion.
Make sure to listen to the local weather and be aware of the temperatures outside. If you don't have air conditioning, try and go somewhere cool during the warmest parts of the day. I like to hang out at the public library when it's too hot to play outside.
Wear lightweight and light colored clothing and DRINK WATER!! Try and postpone outdoor activities to later in the day when it cools down. If you are doing things outside, take frequent breaks to cool off. Don't forget to eat small meals throughout the day.
Make sure you check on your friends and family members to make sure they are keeping cool and don't forget your pets! Give your dogs and cats water throughout the day, too.
Be sure to get help or call 9-1-1 if someone vomits, has changes in consciousness or seems to be suffering from the heat. Heat emergencies can be very serious and require medical attention.
Have a great summer and stay cool!!
