Fire Service Leaders, 

 

The Georgia Fire Academy is hosting the following course: Best Practices in Community Risk Reduction on May 31 – June 1, 2022.

This two-day course demonstrates to students nationally recognized principles that, when used appropriately, can lead to community risk-reduction programs that can measure success in local communities. This course will give students the opportunity to explore programs from communities across the United States that have been showcased at Vision 20/20 symposiums. This program demonstrates what nationally recognized organizations identify as examples of “best practices” in community risk reduction.

Target Audience:

  • Fire and emergency services personnel who help develop and deliver fire prevention and community risk-reduction programs.
  • Fire and emergency services staff with an interest in advancing risk-reduction efforts in their community.
  • Allied health and community service personnel who help develop and deliver risk-reduction programs.

There is a pre-course assignment due one week before class that should take about one hour to complete. Students will receive the assignment two-weeks before class.
