📢 Minnesota severe thunderstorm response update 📢

Early Wednesday morning, the City of Hoffman, Minnesota, suffered severe storm damage, including downed trees and power lines, resulting in damaged homes, no power, and a train derailment.

Thanks to the Grant County Sheriff's Office - MN for reaching out to the Red Cross for support. Six Red Cross workers conducted a damage assessment and continue to distribute emergency supplies, water, and snacks to community members out of the Hoffman City Hall.

Despite the damage and lack of power, Hoffman residents were in good spirits and appreciated the water and supplies. We were able to connect with residents and hear their stories regarding the storm and how they were feeling. We saw neighbors helping each other and children playing, showing that there is no shortage of kindness in the Hoffman community. 💕

Someone can go into cardiac arrest at home, at work, at practice, at the lake or in the grocery store.

Most of us hope we’ll never be the person standing nearby when it happens. But if we are, knowing what to do can matter.

As we wrap up CPR + AED Awareness Week, take a few minutes to look at Red Cross training options and consider getting trained.

It is CPR & AED Awareness Week, a critical reminder that learning these skills empowers anyone to be the difference between life and death. Most cardiac arrests occur in settings where immediate medical help is unavailable.
Every second counts when someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest. Visit redcross.org/take-a-class to learn what to do.
