USFA 2014 Initiatives

“Prevention is much more cost effective than response.”

9  Risk  Loss  Prevention  Mitigation  Level of Preparation

10  Wildfires burn millions of acres across the United States  Wildfires have increased in size, intensity and cost  Education, prevention and mitigation efforts are the keys to damage reduction - success

Risk a lot to save a lot. Risk little to save little. Risk nothing to save nothing. ~Chief Billy Goldfeder

12  We protect our businesses from fire with sprinkler systems – why not our families and our homes ?  Adding sprinklers along with smoke alarms significantly increase the rate of survival  Property damage is nine times lower in sprinklered homes  Do our communities know about this?

13  No notice catastrophic event  Intra and Inter-state community aid  Build database – Information & Coordination  Identify potential resources and analyze

Maximizing Survival  Coordinated and Integrated Planning  Preparation  Response  Treatment  Care

The Hartford Consensus Integrated Response  Fire/Rescue/EMS and Law Enforcement Critical Actions - THREAT T - T hreat suppression H - H emorrhage control RE - R apid E xtrication to safety A - A ssessment by medical providers T - T ransport to definitive care

18  Smart Fire Fighting: Where Big Data and Fire Service Unite  FSTAR: Taking Science to the Streets (Firefighter Safety Through Advanced Research)
