Your department is initiating a robust public education campaign around Fire Prevention Week
Your department is initiating a robust public education campaign around Fire Prevention Week. It is common for fire departments to address fire and life safety issues during this time of the year. However, your elected officials are considering the implementation of a residential sprinkler ordinance in your jurisdiction. You have been tasked with making a presentation to your local elected officials about the benefits of residential fire sprinklers.
In your presentation, you must address the following:
· NFPA 13D (This was mentioned in the unit lesson and is explained in Chapter 15 of your textbook).
· Importance and benefits of residential sprinklers
· Costs of the sprinklers
· Positive impacts of educating the public about the sprinklers and enforcing the code surrounding their usage
Your presentation should consist of at least 10 slides, and you must use audio voiceover and speaker notes. As you are preparing your presentation, keep in mind that it is intended to be presented to elected officials, and as such, should look and sound professional. In other words, your audio recordings should be as error-free as possible, and the design of your presentation slides should be engaging and informative. Please see the following tutorials from our Writing Center. They contain information that will help you create your PowerPoint. You can also contact the Writing Center if you find that you need further assistance.
