SynopsisCommunity Risk Redaction: Principles and Practice is an ideal training solution for fire and emergency services organizations planning to design, implement, and maintain a community risk reduction program. All members of the organization will benefit, including company officers, emergency medical services providers and officers, fire inspectors, fire marshals, fire chiefs, fire and life safety educators, and other community or allied health professionals in community risk reduction. It is also designed for use within fire science programs offering courses on community risk reduction. Community Risk Reduction: Principles and Practice provides a comprehensive overview of the many components of creating a community risk reduction plan. This textbook examines the history of the fire problem in the United States, how that history affected fire and building codes, and ultimately how it pushed the fire service profession toward the concept of community risk reduction and the idea that more people are saved from injury or death through prevention and risk reduction than through fire suppression. The text describes the process of identifying and defining a variety of communities, including those that are more vulnerable, and explains how to identify their specific risks, develop a thorough community risk assessment, and ultimately create a comprehensive community risk reduction plan. Throughout the text, the community risk reduction model developed by the National Fire Academy and the model developed by Vision 20/20 serve as a roadmap. Although the steps in the two models do not align exactly, in the end, they both describe the same process. The text is presented in five sections: Section 1: Getting Ready for Community Risk Reduction, Introduces the concept of community risk reduction, Defines community, Explains how to identify a variety of communities, including those that are at a higher risk of injury or death, Describes the role and responsibilities of fire and emergency services in CRR. Section 2: Getting Started with Community Risk Reduction: Explains how to conduct a community risk assessment and identify specific risks in the community and subcommunities, Describes the factors to consider when prioritizing risks to identify which risks should become part of the community risk reduction plan, Describes how to write problem statements, goals, and objectives that will become part of the risk reduction plan. Section: Identifying and Developing CRR Intervention Strategies: Describes how to develop strategies for mitigating identified risks, Explains how to use Haddon's Matrix to rank identified risks, Explains how to use the 5 Es, causal chain analysis, and cost-benefit analysis to create workable risk reduction strategies, Describes how to create a workable community risk reduction plan. Section 4: Implementing Risk Reduction: Focuses on how to implement to risk reduction plan, Explains the importance of establishing and maintaining organizational and community equity so that the risk reduction plan is supported, Provides suggestions for marketing the community risk reduction plan via social marketing, social media, and social media marketing, Explains the importance of pilot testing and monitoring the risk reduction program. Section 5: Keeping It Going: Explains the importance of evaluating the risk reduction plan and determining which initiatives in the plan were the most effective and which need to be modified, Describes the differences between quantitative and qualitative data and the methods of gathering this data, Explains how to use the collected data to evaluate the program and describe the results so that the program can be revised to be more effective in the future.
