Gardere and Red Cross Build Disaster Resilience | Baton Rouge News

When storms strike, Gardere won’t be caught in the dark—thanks to a powerful new alliance between the Gardere Initiative and the local Red Cross. Together, they’re turning after-school programs into disaster-ready hubs, equipping them with solar generators, laptops, and tablets to keep services running during blackouts. Fifty kids and staff are getting free CPR training, while the Gardere Initiative helps recruit Red Cross volunteers and opens its doors for emergency aid. Building on their past teamwork after Tropical Storm Arthur, this formal partnership is about more than cleanup—it’s about creating a resilient, self-sufficient community ready for whatever nature throws its way.
