Brief Description: This National Fire Academy course is designed to help develop community risk reduction strategies

Full Description: This 2-day course is an NFA course held in Ohio at the Ohio Fire Academy in Reynoldsburg, and is designed to help fire and emergency services learn what community risk reduction is and how to build organizational support for it. This course will address the challenges that fire departments face in shifting their priorities from response to prevention. In many departments, community risk reduction is still considered a low priority. This course will show you how community risk reduction can help you and your department become more of a community player in times of decreased budgets.

Unit 1: Components of Community Risk Reduction.
Unit 2: Community Risk Reduction as a Service Priority.
Unit 3: Building Organizational Support for Community Risk Reduction.
At the end of this course, students will be evaluated through a 25-question, multiple-choice examination. A final grade will be provided to each student. The minimum score needed to pass is 70.
