Volunteers will be trained to: Walkaround home to share tips on creating defensible space, provide safety plan guidance, offer a safety checklist, assist with registration for local alerts, and install smoke alarms, if needed.
Pre-training is required before the event (1.5 hours). Multiple options available. Details provided upon registration.
