Allstate agency owners in Virginia team up with American Red Cross to help communities prepare for natural disasters

Community members are invited to visit participating Allstate agencies to receive free Allstate Foundation disaster preparedness kits and localized information from the American Red Cross

WHAT:  Disasters affect nearly one million people each year, yet 85 percent of Americans are unprepared for one. As the peak of the active Atlantic hurricane season arrives, Allstate agency owners will help raise awareness about the importance of being prepared and ensure local families are prepared if a disaster strikes. From Saturday, Aug. 11 through Friday, Aug. 17, community members are invited to stop by one of 44 Allstate agency owners’ offices (listed below) throughout Virginia to pick up a free Allstate Foundation starter disaster preparedness kit, while supplies last. The kits include a first aid kit, an emergency blanket, and a flashlight, among other essential items, including local resources from the American Red Cross to help prepare.

These efforts are part of a multi-regional effort in coordination with Allstate agencies throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern U.S. states from Coastal Virginia and Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Washington, D.C. through Philadelphia, New York, and up to Hartford.
