What is Community Risk Reduction?
Community risk reduction (CRR) is a multi-stakeholder process used to identify risk factors unique to your community and mitigate them using a coordinated, strategic approach. NFPA 1300 provides a more in-depth look at CRR.

Roadway Safety
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 3,000 people were killed by distracted drivers in 2023. Distracted driving is not only a risk to others on the road but also to first responders working on the roadways.
Fire Sprinkler Systems
Modern homes burn 8 times faster than old homes. Often, residents have less than three minutes after the smoke alarm goes off to get out safely. Fire Sprinkler systems are designed to slow or stop fires inside when they are still small.
