消防工程师 - 美国分支机构(www.ife-usa.org)获得国土安全消防和安全赠款计划的749,000美元赠款,以继续进行Landmark Vision 20/20项目的工作(www.strategicfire.org). Vision 20/20 has played a central role since its inception in 2007 in bringing together the nation’s fire safety organizations to develop common strategies for reducing the loss of life and injury from fire, including:
- 增加倡导防火
- 进行国家安全教育/社会营销活动
- 提高消防部门防火的重要性
- 促进技术以增强火灾和生命安全
- 完善并改善公共和消防员安全的代码和标准的应用
这笔赠款将继续进行社区降低风险项目(CRR)项目的开创性工作,即20/20愿景有助于在全国范围内率领头脑,并将大大扩大Vision 20/20将与之合作的社区数量。这些社区将进行虚拟培训,并将为他们提供烟雾报警器,以在他们的家庭消防安全访问中开始。一个关键组成部分将与合作伙伴组织合作,为聋哑人或严重听力的人促进家庭消防安全,并主张住宅消防洒水系统的概念。
Vision 20/20 will hold a series of training workshops in each FEMA region to train local jurisdictions on how to implement CRR. These workshops will build on the extensive lessons-learned that have emerged from Vision 20/20’s collaboration with communities such as Alexandria, Virginia; Amherst, Massachusetts; Dallas, Texas; Palm Beach County, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Rosemount, Minnesota; Tucson, Arizona; and Washington, DC, among others.
退休研究中心是一个识别高风险地区的过程d designing strategies that include home safety visits and smoke alarm installations. It has been very successful in the communities where it has been implemented and serves as a model for other communities. Through extensive data collected during previous home fire safety visits, detailed lessons-learned have emerged that will help others put CRR into practice and save lives.
今年赠款的一个独特组成部分是建立快速响应团队,这些响应团队将有能力前往一个发生了重大事件事件的社区,并协助他们在后果中实施CRR。有一个非常狭窄的机会来利用这一可教导时刻,并且经常一个社区可能正在寻找一种方法来利用社区注意力集中在预防未来悲剧的时候。
Vision 20/20项目经理Jim Crawford表示:“ Vision 20/20的下一阶段工作的重点是传播CRR有效性及其在社区中如何运作的信息。”“很明显,通过共同努力,我们在减少火灾的悲惨影响方面更加有效。”
