Disaster Prevention
The PMAWM is proud to have made a long-term commitment to support the American Red Cross (ARC) as they are one of the first on-site in the unfortunate case of an apartment fire or disaster. The mission of the ARC is to help the community, prevent and prepare for and respond to emergencies.
Last year, the ARC responded to 2,047 home fires in Michigan - more than any other type of disaster. Their volunteers provided the thousands of people affected with over 5,500 comfort kits and 1,300 blankets, in addition to the direct financial assistance provided for other needs.
