Red Cross Scenarios

It is the job of the American Red Cross to care for American citizens in their time of need whenever disaster strikes. This would be no different if a zombie apocalypse were to occur. The Red Cross would carry out all of these duties as if they were dealing with a tsunami, wildfire, or even an act of terrorism. This includes finding a shelter in-place, maintaining proper communication with all citizens, having the appropriate supplies, and providing any medical attention that may be needed. The Red Cross would have a plan of action to ensure the safety of these in-danger citizens from the zombies that are slowly, but surely making their way closer to the homes and families of individuals.

Since we will only have a few megaphones to use, we will give these to the workers with the areas with excessive amounts of people. Due to the megaphones being battery powered, we will use them only when necessary. The rooms with fewer people will still be given information the same way they were before.

The Tylenol and aspirin would simply be for the more common illnesses like fever, headache, or any other aches and pains. The alcohol wipes, iodine, and gauzes are for sterilization in case we need to penetrate the skin. Band-Aids and bandages to cover any wounds, cuts, or openings made by surgery. Then numbing medicine, of course, would be to numb any part of the body so no pain would be conflicted. Next, the needle, thread, scalpels, and sutures are for any major surgery or amputations needed for the seriously ill patients. Then the needle for the medicine would be for when the patient needs serious medications for certain
