Nationwide effort to make homes safer to be rescheduled
WHAT: Due to the threat of severe weather, The American Red Cross’s signature home fire campaign called Sound the Alarm has been postponed from its original date of Saturday, May 11th. This year the Third Ward community has been named Houston’s signature city event destination
WHY: The Red Cross responds to an average of 62,000 disasters every year – the vast majority of which are home fires. That means that every day in this country, on average, seven people are killed in a home fire and another 36 people suffer injuries. To end these tragedies and save lives, the Red Cross launched a nationwide Home Fire Campaign in 2014 with the goal of reducing the number of home fire deaths and injuries by 25 percent. Sound the Alarm installations are a crucial part of this goal.
