A Message From the Chair and CEO We are proud to present the accomplishments of the Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region of the American Red Cross during fiscal year 2014. With the support of our generous donors, dedicated volunteers and talented staff, your Red Cross achieved our mission of preventing and alleviating human suffering in the face of emergencies. The Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region proved again that it is ready to respond and assist our neighbors when disaster strikes. Our staff and volunteers worked together to help hundreds of individuals whose lives were disrupted by disasters—locally and throughout the country—by providing food, shelter, financial assistance and a shoulder to lean on. We continued our long tradition of focusing on youth. We taught school children how to build disaster preparedness kits and respond to a home fire or other emergency. We taught teens how to be leaders in their schools and their communities at our 31st annual Leadership Development Camp. We taught other teens about the principles of international humanitarian law and assisted them in teaching their peers those important principles through creative and innovative high school projects. We remained dedicated to assisting members of the military and their families through our Service to Armed Forces programs. We kept service members connected to their families in times of personal crisis through our emergency message services. Often our efforts made it possible for a deployed soldier to return home to be with family members to celebrate the birth of a child or grieve the loss of a loved one. We honored the military through our robust Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign, delivering over 30,000 signed holiday cards. In addition, we trained our citizens to save lives through first aid, AED, CPR, water safety, disaster preparedness and babysitting classes. We expanded the access of the community to immediate lifesaving information through free Red Cross mobile apps. Our many achievements would not have been possible without our generous donors and our amazing volunteers who work 24/7 to provide help and hope to those who need it most. We owe special appreciation to the United Ways of Greater Dayton, Piqua, Troy and Tipp City, and the United Ways of Butler, Clinton, Warren, Clark, Champaign, Darke, Logan, Shelby and Scioto counties. And this year, as for the past 50 years, we are especially grateful for our unique fundraising partnership with the United Way of Greater Cincinnati.

You Make It Possible
The Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region of the American Red Cross provides vital services to the region 365 days a year—from responding to home fires in local neighborhoods to teaching first aid and CPR to community groups. We’re able to provide these services thanks to a corps of 2,143 dedicated volunteers and the generosity of our donors. The American Red Cross puts these donations to good use—we are proud to tell donors that we invest an average of 91 cents of every dollar in humanitarian services and programs, well above the industry standard. How do we do it? By practicing what we preach: preparedness. We train our volunteers. We plan ahead for the types of disasters that strike in our community. And we train individuals, businesses and community groups so that they too can be prepared. In 2014, the Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region served 37 counties in Southwest Ohio, Southeast Indiana and Northern Kentucky. In this report, which covers fiscal year 2014 (July 1, 2013–June 30, 2014), you’ll learn about how we help our neighbors—down the street, across the country and around the world.
Our work is made possible by more than 2,100 volunteers.
Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region
American Red Cross military support dates back more than a century ago, when Red Cross founder Clara Barton began her humanitarian work on the battlefields of the Civil War, providing nursing care and reconnecting families with military loved ones. This remains the same today; the American Red Cross is mandated through Congress to authenticate messages in regards to birth, serious illnesses, deaths and childcare. Through the American Red Cross, military service members have a means to access their branch’s aid society. Each service branch has an aid society to provide emergency financial assistance for service members on active duty, reservists and National Guardsmen under certain types of activation orders, and military retirees. The American Red Cross continues to meet the needs of military families in the Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region.
The Red Cross supports military members and their families before, during and after deployments.
Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region Services to the Armed Forces The Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region gives support to active-duty military members, National Guard and Reserve members, veterans and their families. We provide predeployment briefings called “Get to Know Us Before You Need Us,” and connect families with needed resources when their loved ones are deployed. Deployed service members also count on us to deliver emergency messages, such as notification of an illness or death in the family. Military families rely on these verified communications, which help commanders decide when to grant leave. We also provide support for the sick and wounded at military and veterans hospitals and assistance in obtaining emergency financial support. During fiscal year 2014, the Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region: •D elivered 1,092 emergency communications messages and other services to members of the military and their families. •B riefed 19,482 people on Red Cross services provided to military members and families. •C ollected and delivered more than 30,000 signed greeting cards to service members, their families and veterans throughout the region during the holiday season as part of the Red Cross’s Holiday Mail for Heroes campaign.
Down the Street
House Fires to Hurricanes We’re ready to respond to disaster 7 days a week, 365 days a year in our community, providing shelter, food, clothing and emotional support at no cost to those in need. The Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region is part of a nationwide network of Red Cross divisions, regions and chapters that work together to respond to large-scale relief efforts. Home fires are the most common disaster to which the Red Cross responds. On average, the region responds to more than 900 home fires a year—that’s nearly three per day. Although these fires don’t typically create major headlines like a hurricane or other largescale event, they are equally as devastating for those who have suddenly lost their homes, possessions and sense of security. In fiscal year 2014, we assisted 1,150 families affected by fires and other local disasters. The Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region also teaches families, organizations and corporations how to be prepared for emergencies through free educational presentations. Last year, 43,264 people attended community disaster education and preparedness programs in the region.
Preparing for the Unexpected Every year, the Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region teaches people the lifesaving skills they need to protect themselves and their families, including first aid, CPR and water safety. We offer these trainings in multiple ways: online training, traditional classroom settings and full-service courses where we bring the training to your workplace or organization. Last year, thousands of individuals learned critical skills through Red Cross courses: • 21,732 people enrolled in first aid/CPR/AED • 6,441 people enrolled in water safety/aquatics • 1,207 people enrolled in other health and safety courses The American Red Cross preparedness programs in first aid, CPR and AED are available for any group and can be tailored to meet specific needs. Whether you work with children, want training for employees, are a professional rescuer, or simply want to know how to help someone in an emergency, the Red Cross has a program for you.

YOU make it all happen The fire relief services provided by our local American Red Cross are funded exclusively through local contributions. We receive no government subsidies or federal funding, which means your donations aren’t just important, they are everything.
Local Efforts, Global Reach As part of a worldwide humanitarian network, the Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region works to deliver international humanitarian aid in the wake of disasters; prevent disease and teach preparedness; reconnect families separated by armed conflict; and educate the public about International Humanitarian Law. In the Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region, we: • Reached nearly 6,500 people through International Humanitarian Law classes, youth peer education programs and other presentations. • Connected 27 people to their families after an international disaster or conflict through the Restoring Family Links program. The Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region is an active part of International Red Cross and Red Crescent Network. We continue to communicate the Red Cross and Red Crescent global network mandate through our education programs and activities including teaching the Geneva Convention and International Humanitarian Law to the public. The Red Cross and Red Crescent global network is the largest humanitarian assistance network in the world, and includes the International Committee for the Red Cross, International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Network, and 188 national societies.
Training Youth Humanitarians The Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region has been busy this year. Area high school groups have been involved in fundraising events, raising money for the Measles and Rubella Initiative and international efforts. * They have created class-to-class competitions, with freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors trying to out-do each other in funds raised, and hosted a successful “color run.” * Other youth efforts have been centered on preparedness education. Youth have been involved in presenting preparedness skits to elementary school audiences, interacting with the public through children’s preparedness games at community events and the Cincinnati Museum Center’s Free Fridays, and educating peers through school presentations. * Our annual Martin Luther King Day service project saw more than 40 youth participants this year, providing warm greetings and hot chocolate to participants in the annual memorial walk. * In addition, offices throughout the region have hosted numerous interns and servicelearning students.
Across the Country Response, Recovery and Preparation Although the work of the Red Cross may be most visible during our response to natural disasters, our mission stretches far beyond as we work to help communities recover and prepare for the future.
2014 at a Glance Across the country, the American Red Cross— • Responded to 63,600 disasters. • Provided more than 350,000 emergency assistance services to military members and their families. • Collected approximately 5.3 million units of blood from 3.1 million donors. • Taught 2.3 million people first aid, CPR and AED skills
In fall 2013, the Red Cross responded to historic floods in parts of Colorado and an outbreak of tornadoes in the Midwest, with Illinois hit particularly hard. After both disasters, we provided safe shelter, food and emotional support to residents and worked with community partners to distribute relief items. The Red Cross also worked in both states to help communities come back stronger and more resilient. We provided all-weather radios for flood-affected communities in Colorado that are prone to being cut off in emergencies, and we have been addressing long-term recovery needs and providing preparedness information in Illinois. On March 22, 2014, a landslide engulfed a neighborhood near Oso, Wash. Dozens of residents were reported missing, compounding the community’s grief in the weeks and months after the disaster, which took 43 lives and destroyed 49 homes. Red Cross volunteers were there immediately, providing meals, shelter and, just as importantly, counseling and comfort. The Red Cross continues to work with local partners to identify areas of need. The work of the Red Cross also continued for those recovering from the 2013 Oklahoma tornadoes, as well as for residents affected by Superstorm Sandy. For months after tornadoes hit Oklahoma, the Red Cross and our partners operated longterm recovery centers—which offered support for housing, transportation and more—in El Reno, Shawnee and Moore. We helped provide teachers with replacement classroom materials lost in the storms, and we are also working with government and community partners to help homeowners rebuild and invest in storm shelters.
For those affected by Superstorm Sandy, the Red Cross MoveIn Assistance Program has provided families with financial assistance to cover costs such as rent, temporary housing and appliances. Through mid-September 2014, more than 5,100 households in New York, New Jersey and nearby states had received more than $32 million in Sandy move-in assistance from the Red Cross. The Red Cross has also awarded almost $92 million in funding to support critical recovery services in Sandyaffected communities in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, including home repairs and rebuilding, mold remediation, financial assistance, food, and mental health counseling.
In a Red Cross shelter in Boulder, Colo., a mental health worker listens to a woman whose family had barely escaped the floods.
Greater Cincinnati-Dayton Region
The Red Cross has spent or made commitments to spend more than $310 million of the $311.5 million donated to support our work with Sandy-affected households and communities, as of August 31, 2014. We have worked together to help people heal, rebuild and recover, and we will continue to be there until the last escaped the floods. dollar is spent.
Caring for Military Families More than 150 years after Clara Barton came to the aid of soldiers on Civil War battlefields, serving our nation’s troops, veterans and families remains a key part of the Red Cross mission. In 2013, the American Red Cross took our preparedness mission to military bases overseas. We hosted an event in Okinawa, Japan, to teach families how to build a disaster kit, and at Hohenfels and Grafenwoehr, Germany, participants were certified in First Aid/CPR/AED. Members of the military community deserve the best available care. In partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense and other partners, last year the Red Cross provided more than 136,000 comfort items such as toiletries, games and calling cards to wounded, ill and injured military members. Working with the Wounded Warrior Project, the Red Cross also handed out nearly 2,000 Transitional Care Packs to injured or ill service members in military hospitals. Although trained by the military to overcome challenges, it sometimes isn’t easy for veterans to enter the civilian workforce. In July 2012, the American Red Cross committed to hiring 1,000 veterans over the following two years; by June 2014, we had exceeded our goal by hiring 1,013 veterans across the organization. The Red Cross worked in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the “Hiring Our Heroes” program in this effort.
Red Cross programs support service members when they return home, as well as before they deploy.
In fiscal year 2014, the Red Cross also provided employment development programs to more than 2,000 veterans and family members, and we trained more than 300 dental and medical assistants on military installations and in civilian communities.
Creating a Safe and Prepared Nation For more than 100 years, the Red Cross has taught people the skills they need to prepare and respond to emergencies, and these days, learning lifesaving skills couldn’t be easier. Along with introducing new classes such as Advanced Child-Care Training, we continue to develop new mobile apps to help people prepare for and respond to emergencies, as well as make it easier for people to help others. In the past year, the Red Cross introduced four new apps: Pet First Aid, Flood, Swim and Team Red Cross. To mark the 100th birthday of the Red Cross Lifesaving and Water Safety program in 2014, in May we launched the “Centennial Campaign,” a five-year effort to cut the drowning rate in half in 50 communities across the nation where the drowning rate exceeds the national average. The ultimate goal is to teach 50,000 people to learn to swim who would not otherwise have the opportunity.
In Brevard County, Fla., children show off their Learn-to-Swim completion cards. The swim lessons were part of the Red Cross Centennial Campaign.
The Red Cross has been preparing people to work in the nursing field for more than a century and is the premier provider of Nurse Assistant Training (NAT), which provides training for entry-level health care careers. Over the past two years, 2,500 students across the U.S. were able to enter the NAT program thanks to a $3.5 million grant from the Walmart Foundation.
Providing Blood as We Adapt to Change The American Red Cross is the nation’s single largest supplier of blood and blood products, and every day, we help save lives and enable those with chronic conditions to enjoy life to the fullest. In recent years, overall demand for blood products has dropped as medical treatments advance and fewer transfusions are necessary. The Red Cross strongly supports blood management, which minimizes the need for transfusions by optimizing patient care before, during and after surgery. At the same time, the Red Cross must adapt to this decline in demand by ensuring our resources are focused on the right areas. While the demand for blood has decreased, the need for donors and donations remains a critical part of the lifesaving process. Many people are not eligible to give blood due to travel, medication or a health condition. Of the approximately 38 percent of the population who are eligible, only a fraction of those actually donate. The Red Cross must collect approximately 15,000 units of blood each day to meet the needs of accident victims, cancer patients, children with blood disorders and others. To meet this need, our teams have renewed their focus on recruiting donors and blood drive sponsors, planning and scheduling, and collecting blood and platelets. The Red Cross has also been making changes to provide the best value in blood and blood products to hospitals. To help combat the typical decline in summer blood donations, in May 2014 the Red Cross launched a campaign called “100 Days of Summer. 100 Days of Hope.” to urge eligible donors to give blood and platelets, reminding everyone that summer is a time when they can give hope to those who are suffering by donating blood. The campaign began Memorial Day weekend and ran until September 1.
A safe and adequate blood supply is critical, as this recipient attests.

Around the World Worldwide Action for Those in Need Working with the global Red Cross and Red Crescent network, the American Red Cross has helped meet the needs of the world’s most vulnerable communities for more than a century, and our work continued over the past year with disasters, disease prevention and conflicts. In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, damaging or destroying more than 1 million homes. The American Red Cross immediately sent disaster response specialists, relief supplies and financial assistance to the Philippines, working with the Philippine Red Cross to deliver aid. The American Red Cross has led the Red Cross effort that provided cash grants to 59,000 families and is working with partners on longterm recovery efforts. More than 1 million Filipinos have received lifesaving Red Cross assistance since Haiyan struck. Technology plays an important part in Red Cross relief operations and preparedness efforts. Last year, the American Red Cross Global Geographic Information Systems team provided remote mapping support for emergencies around the world, including Typhoon Haiyan and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. In addition, more than 2,700 volunteers made 11 million edits to maps on the OpenStreetMap platform, which helped relief workers from the Red Cross and other partner agencies speed relief to disaster survivors. The popularity of the Red Cross First Aid App in the U.S. led the Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC), a resource center created by the American Red Cross and the global Red Cross network, to develop a platform for the easy adaptation and localization of the First Aid app. This allows each local Red Cross and Red Crescent society to create its own version of the app. As of June 2014, the apps have been released in more than 23 countries. The Measles & Rubella Initiative, a partnership the American Red Cross helped establish, has vaccinated more than 1.1 billion children since 2001, and measles deaths have declined by 78 percent. The Initiative has also handed out more than 41 million bed nets to prevent malaria and provided 207 million doses of the polio vaccine, ensuring children are protected against these devastating diseases.
Badra Essa was thrilled to learn that a measles vaccination campaign was coming to her village in remote Ethiopia. A Red Cross volunteer had visited her house before when her eldest son, Atatef, fell ill with measles. The chance to vaccinate and protect her youngest son was an opportunity she couldn’t miss.
2014 at a Glance • 5.5 million people recieved disaster assistance from the American Red Cross and our global Red Cross and Red Crescent network partners. • 211 million children were protected against measles. • Nearly 10,000 families in the U.S. turned to the American Red Cross to find loved ones missing internationally following armed conflicts and disasters
