Our Partnerships
Prevention 1st Foundation works with local and national agencies and coalitions to further our mission of creating and distributing research-based injury prevention training, education and materials.
By invitation we recently participated in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's U.S. rollout of the World Health Organization/ UNICEF World Report on Child Injury Prevention and the CDC's Protect the Ones You Love: Child Injuries are Preventable Initiative. The report has now been published and CDC resources made available on an accompanying website, www.cdc.gov/safekids.
Prevention 1st Foundation is a member of the
New York State Fire Prevention Task Force convened by the NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control to reduce fire deaths and injuries. The group wants to change fire service culture to orient firefighters to promote home safety and fire prevention, to develop key preventive and educational messages, and best distribution methods for those messages.
We are members of the Fire Safety Council, which meets regularly in Washington, D.C. to address national fire safety issues.
We work with numerous Home Fire Drill partners to promote our biannual message of Change Your Clock; Check Your Batteries; Practice Your Home Fire Drill; www.homefiredrill.org™
