Family Disaster Plan

Be prepared and gather a diseaster and evacuation supply kit; items needed to stay safe and be more comfortable during and after a disaster. It is possible you may not have electricity or water during or after a disaster. Items should be stored in a portable container as close as possible to the exit door. Review/update kit at least once a year. Keep emergency supplies in each vehicle and at your place of employment. Use travel routes specified by local authorities and don’t use shortcuts because certain areas may be impassable or dangerous.

Please click on the link above with the title "Family Disaster Plan" for more information so you'll be prepared for whatever comes your way.

If you would like to have a text document emailed to you with an detailed outline of things you should pack, things to keep in your vehicle, and steps to take before a diseaster, we'd be happy to email it to you. The document will be titled "Disaster Prepartion".

New Scam Targeting Military Spouses

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, May 29, 2007 —

The American Red Cross has learned about a new scam targeting military families. The caller (young-sounding, American accent) calls a military spouse and identifies herself as a representative from the Red Cross. The caller states that the spouse's husband (not identified by name) was hurt while on duty in Iraq and was med-evacuated to a hospital in Germany. The caller stated they couldn't start treatment until paperwork was accomplished, and that in order to start the paperwork they needed the spouse to verify her husband's social security number and date of birth. In this case, the spouse was quick to catch on and she did not provide any information to the caller.

Family and Friends CPR Class

Carolanne Farm Civic League, along with the Tidewater Center for Life Support (TCLS) from EVMS will be hosting a Free Family & Friends CPR course. This course will include adult, infant, and child CPR skills.

We are asking for a small donation of $5.00 for The Mended Hearts, an affiliate of the American Heart Association, dedicated to offering support and encouragement to heart disease patients and their families.

If you have a little one or family member at-risk, please join us for an informative course with plenty of hands-on practice and learn to make a difference. The Family and Friends CPR course is not for certification.

Since class size is limited, we are offering this to league members ONLY. Mark your calendar! At our June 12ths meeting, we will start signing members up for the CPR class that will be scheduled for July. This will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. If there is great interest, we will schedule a second class.

If you are not yet a paid member you may join today if you live within the neighborhoods of Arrowhead, Carolanne Farm, Carolanne Point, Huntington, Huntington Estates or Plantation Cove. When you pay your membership dues of $20, the CAFCL will offer $5 to Mended Hearts for you.
