The Red Cross is conducting a text-a-thon to launch a campaign called Prepare SC.The goals of the campaign are to prepare South Carolinians for disasters, and strengthen the capacity of the Red Cross to respond to those incidents. Specific goals are:• Doubling the number of people trained in preparedness from 19,000 to 38,000.• Training 100,000 people per year in lifesaving first aid, CPR and AED skills.• Increasing the number of volunteers trained for disaster response from 3,000 to 7,000.• Doubling community capacity to distribute and serve meals from 150,000 to 300,000 per day.The Red Cross asks everyone to join them in the effort to support the campaign by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 or donate online.The campaign comes on the 25th anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, which destroyed 3,300 homes and heavily damaged 18,000 other during the Category 4 storm. South Carolina sustained the worst damage in the mainland U.S.
