Knowing First Aid and CPR can save your loved one, so please know these skills. Even if you took the course only few years ago, refreshing the skills is important, since the way CPR is given has changed to a more effective way. Please sign up to our classes to keep yourself up to date on these important skills. You can sign up via the links on the training/classes page.
Save your loved pet in accident situations; learn how to do cat and dog CPR and First Aid. How do you help a pet that is choking? How do you tie a wound that is bleeding heavily? Do you know where your pet's heart is? Do you know how to give rescue breaths to animals? Come find out, the next Pet CPR/First Aid class will be in January!
Did you know? If there is no convenient time for your group or your work place to participate in one of our classes, please call us and request a private class!
American Red Cross
American Red Cross in Okinawa is primarily for the military members. We serve the members in many ways, not only with emergency communications. Our volunteers help in all the base schools, post offices, dental clinics, medical clinics, several departments in Lester Naval hospital and other installations on the bases. The dental assistant program is one of the most valued free training programs available for spouses and is very popular. American Red Cross is here for you!
Japanese Red Cross (mainland Japan)
American Red Cross is part of international Red Cross organization, and here is some interesting reading for you about what our Japanese neighbors have been doing. That prompts a question for all of us in case a disaster strikes: Do you know more than two alternate routes from work to home? Here is a link to Japanese Red Cross main page. It is in English, so please go check it out!
Generations of Compassion slideshow shows how Red Cross has been aiding in disaster areas in many ways for a very long time. Please take a peek into Red Cross history
all over the world.
Now is the perfect time to prepare for the next storm season.
