State Emergency Response Officials: Community Risk Reduction Can Help Communities Be Prepared for and Respond to Emergencies

State Fire Commissioner Bruce Trego, alongside Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency Director, Randy Padfield and officials from West Hanover Township Fire Department are encouraging local leaders, first responders, businesses and residents to learn more about the concept of Community Risk Reduction (CRR) by participating in the inaugural CRR Week being held from Jan. 20 - 26.

"The concept of Community Risk Reduction is fairly new, and I often hear people question what exactly it means," Trego said."First and foremost, we want individuals to be able to understand how to identify and prioritize local risks, and then be able to develop a plan to mitigate the highest priority risks that affect them."
