Sound the Alarm (Tupelo, MS)
May 11, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Join the American Red Cross to Sound the Alarm, a home fire safety and smoke alarm installation event.
On May 4 and May 11, the American Red Cross needs your help to install 100,000 free smoke alarms and raise funds for lifesaving services during Sound the Alarm home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events.
Every day, seven people die in home fires and the Red Cross wants to do everything we can to prevent these needless tragedies.
Volunteers work alongside fire departments and other local groups, canvassing at-risk neighborhoods to install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms, educate families about fire prevention and safety, and fundraise for this lifesaving mission.
One day of your life can change someone else’s forever. Join us to Sound the Alarm. Save a Life.

OUR CAMPAIGN TO #ENDHOMEFIRES – Sound the Alarm events are part of the Home Fire Campaign, which the Red Cross launched in 2014 to reduce fire deaths and injuries. So far, it has reached more than 1.7 million people and saved more than 520 lives nationwide. In the Mississippi Region, seven lives have been saved. Last fiscal year, Mississippi Red Cross volunteers and local partners:
•Installed more than 6,300 free smoke alarms
•Made more than 2,400 households safer through education talks
•Reached roughly 3,500 children through youth preparedness programs
The Red Cross urges all households to test their smoke alarms and replace alarm batteries if needed.
Sound the Alarm is made possible thanks to generous financial donations from regional sponsors. The 2019 regional sponsors are Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi, Trustmark, Toyota Mississippi, State Farm, and Eaton.
