Objectives:

1. Identify potential risk reduction strategies.

2. Analyze cost versus benefit to determine a plan of action for your community risk reduction plan.

3. Select realistic and achievable risk reduction strategies.

4. Develop an intervention strategy.

You have now been provided with the information necessary to develop intervention strategies from a host of possibilities, including how to select your risk reduction team, identify potential strategies (using the 5 Es), perform cost-benefit analysis, and select the most appropriate strategies for your emergency services organization. Your culminating activity for this module is to use this information to develop risk reduction intervention strategies.

When developing the strategy, remember to include the 5 E’s (as many as possible) and to incorporate the levels of prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary).

For this assignment: Using what you’ve learned in this Module, write a 3-4 page plan that identifies 3 to 5 realistic strategies for your fire and emergency services organization.

Include your cost-benefit analysis.

Your strategies must be:

preceded with a rationale for selecting the strategies;
realistic – representing a plausible scenario;
actionable – requiring intervention;
based on your cost-benefit analysis;
designed in a manner sustained by full support of all stakeholders (consensus-based);
accompanied by a measurable anticipated outcome for each strategy (how you will measure whether or not the strategy was effective).
