The American Red Cross and American Heart Association have proclaimed September as National CPR Awareness Month. The Provo chapter is located at 865 N. Freedom Blvd., and Cannon will take part in the training at 10 a.m. Afterwards, Cannon will meet with Red Cross officials to look for ways to help increase citizen involvement in CPR knowledge and awareness. The Red Cross effort represents an opportunity for people to be prepared in times of need, Cannon said.
Freak accidents happen every day.
We have learned recently that natural disasters can happen here in our own backyard. People who are prepared can save lives. The resolution also proclaims the third weekend in September as National CPR Weekend.
