FAST

The official blog for the First Aid Service Team (FAST), a youth-led workforce-readiness program sponsored by the Oregon Pacific Chapter of the American Red Cross in Eugene, Oregon. This blog is a resource for FAST members, potential volunteers, community event organizers in need of first aid stations, and the general public.

FAST is a group of youth and adult volunteer responders who provide first aid and first response care at community events, teach safety programs, and organize community service projects. FAST meets at the Oregon Pacific Chapter on the first Tuesday of every month to plan new events, organize projects, and practice rescue skills. Visit the Volunteer page to find out about joining FAST.

If you are an event organizer and want to know how your event can benefit from a Red Cross first aid station, visit the First Aid Station page.

April is Earthquake & Tsunami Awareness Month

According to a declaration by Governor John Kitzhaber, April is Earthquake and Tsunami Awareness Month in Oregon. Do you know how to prepare for a catastrophic event? Even if you answer 'yes', you should read on.

The fantastic bloggers at the Oregon Trail Chapter in Portland are posting a seven-part series by James Roddy detailing what a catastrophic earthquake in the Pacific Northwest will entail and what you can do to prepare. It's too good--and too important--to not share it. Check out part one below and stay tuned for the rest of the series.
