*American Red Cross - Prepare Wyoming (Cheyenne)*
 
 
 
The American Red Cross Colorado-Wyoming Region designed a project with the overall goal of making the states of Colorado and Wyoming the most disaster-prepared states in the nation. The goal of the project that is to reduce poverty by increasing the capacity of local communities to respond and recover effectively when affected by disasters by focusing on preparedness activities. The four (4) Wyoming VISTAs will be spread out across the state to address needs in all 23 Wyoming counties. Activities of the VISTAs include: Identify local leaders who could support preparedness work in the community with an eye to building an ongoing, sustainable program for that community; Train local volunteers to deliver information on personal, household, youth, and business preparedness; Work closely with the Red Cross Disaster Cycle Services team to identify the Preparedness needs of the community; Collaborate with the Regional Community Preparedness and Resiliency; Services team to develop preparedness training and programs for use at the local level; Engage the whole community in preparedness activities and projects including education (both in the classroom and during out-of-school-time activities), disaster services initiatives, and healthy and sustainable pathways to disaster readiness; Develop and cultivate relationships with other local emergency response organizations and work to standardize the preparedness messaging in the community; VISTA members will begin to build a local Preparedness program that fits the community in which they live and work by providing dedicated and focused time, talent, and leadership. And secondly, identify and train leadership volunteers who will replace the VISTAs at the end of their term so that the programs they are developing are long-lasting and locally sustainable.
