We’ll never know everything our veterans were asked to do or everything their service asked of them. But Veterans Day gives us a chance to show them how much that service means to us. ❤️

A home fire can leave a family without somewhere to sleep or even the basic things they need for the night. While they figure out what comes next, Disaster Action Team volunteers are there to help them through those first difficult hours. Learn more: redcross.org/volunteer

A family emergency isn’t the time you want to start figuring out where to turn for help. If you have a loved one serving in the military, download our Hero Care app now. It brings Red Cross resources and support together before your family needs them. 📲

For you, it might be a regular Saturday night. For the little ghosts, goblins, princesses and superheroes running around your neighborhood, it's anything but. 👻 If you're heading out tonight, take it slow and keep an extra eye out for trick-or-treaters!

Once the sun goes down, take a walk from the sidewalk to your front door. If you have trouble seeing a step, decoration or extension cord, imagine trying to spot it through a Halloween mask. 🎃

You know that extra hour of sleep we get when the clocks fall back this weekend? You probably don’t want to spend it listening to a smoke alarm chirp. Before Sunday, test every alarm in your home and replace any that are 10 years old or older.

Looking cool may be the kids’ top priority Saturday night. Being easy for drivers to see probably isn’t. Let them handle the costume. You add something bright or reflective that helps them stand out after dark.

What if I break a rib doing CPR? What if they're still breathing? Can I use an AED if they have a pacemaker? Those doubts can make you second-guess yourself when someone needs your help. And that's a pretty good reason to get some answers now. ▶️ rdcrss.org/3WMLW2N

Just a heads-up, Mississippi: We’re not getting much of a break from the fire danger. It’ll continue into early next week, so take a look at what that means for the next few days.

Most of us know enough first aid to handle the little things. It's the moments we don't see coming, like someone going into cardiac arrest, that can leave us unsure what to do. Keep expert guidance close with the free Red Cross First Aid app: redcross.org/apps
