Hi! My name is Hilary Anderson. I'm the Preparedness and Resiliency Manager for the American Red Cross, Los Angeles Region. I've been with the Red Cross for about four years. I started as a volunteer, and now I work in preparedness education, which I love. I really believe in preparedness education--it saves lives and property, and everyone can do it. I absolutely love pet preparedness. I'm not a mother yet, but I am a dog mother--if that's a thing--and so I love making sure that she's alright as well. I'm from Los Angeles. I lived through the Northridge Earthquake and I've also lived in foreign countries during pandemic flu; I've seen the effects of preparedness and what it can do and help people. I really hope that these videos are helpful; I hope, as parents, you find them inspirational because the more steps you take to get prepared, the better off you and your family are going to be because you really can make a difference. Check out all the information that we've got in the videos to follow and get prepared, because the worst disaster is not being ready. In my free time, I enjoy the beach, more than anything walking my dog, and spending time with friends and family.
