NATIONAL FIRE ACADEMY OFF – CAMPUS COURSE
Building Organizational Support for Community Risk Reduction (F0636) is a two-day course designed to help fire and emergency services learn what community risk reduction is and how to build organizational support for it. This course examines challenges 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 demonstrates how organizational support for strategic CRR can help foster safe, healthy, prepared and resilient communities.
This is a field course which is scheduled by state training agencies through the NFA annual course call.
