Remembering When™ Older Adult Fire and Fall Prevention Program is now Steps to Safety™ Prevent Fire and Falls at Home
What: Steps to Safety™ (STS) pairs fire service/EMS with their community partners to educate, engage, and bring key resources to their older adults to reduce the incidence, injuries, and deaths from fire and falls. STS is delivered through group presentations, home visits, and the creation of a network of referrals and resources to support older adults to live safely and independently at home. This enhanced program contains new messaging, video and social media assets, and enhanced educational materials.
Who: This training is open to all fire service, EMS, public health, injury prevention, older adult services, and social service professionals who want to work together to reduce the impact of fire and falls among the older adults in their community. Prior Remembering When™ experience is great but not necessary!
