The goal of the Red Cross is to inform and empower individuals to be ready for disasters of all types and sizes.

A new survey shows that while half of Americans have experienced a significant emergency, many people still are not ready for the unexpected because they do not know what to do. To help people take needed preparedness steps, the Do More Than Cross Your Fingers campaign urges individuals to take the few simple steps in emergency planning that can help make all the difference in protecting their families.

This campaign seeks to promote personal preparedness and includes an interactive website RedCross.org/domore that allows visitors to share emergency kit personalization tips with others, play user-friendly emergency preparedness games and creates customized lists of emergency kit items based on individual user needs.
