Allstate and Red Cross Provide Free Disaster Preparedness Kits

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 August 11 through August 17, community members are invited to stop by one of 35 Allstate agency owners’ offices (listed below) throughout Maryland 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.
