Jackson Hole Fire/EMS has been selected by the National Fire Protection Association to participate in the second phase of a pilot program to build a digital community risk assessment tool.
Aligned to NFPA 1300, Standard on Community Risk Assessment and Community Risk Reduction Plan Development, the tool, or “dashboard,” will enable community leaders to gain valuable insights and make data-informed decisions around fire prevention and other risk-reduction activities in their communities.
The first phase of the pilot project, which included participation from 50 fire departments across the country, helped identify features of the digital dashboard that will work effectively and those that need fine-tuning.
During the second phase of the program, which involves participation from 250 departments nationwide, Jackson Hole Fire/EMS will provide insights around the use of the dashboard through June of 2021 to help continue refining and enhancing its effectiveness.
As a participant in the pilot program, Jackson Hole Fire/EMS will have free access to the dashboard, which includes customized visualizations (maps, charts, graphs) that illustrate each community’s risks and hazards across a variety of categories such as demographics, geography, building stock, economics, infrastructure, and event loss history.
