Community Risk Reduction (CRR)

Community Risk Reduction (CRR) is a proactive approach used by fire departments and safety organizations to identify and address potential hazards within a community. By analyzing risks such as fire, health, or safety threats, they implement programs and initiatives to prevent incidents before they happen. CRR involves education, code enforcement, and community engagement to improve safety and reduce emergencies. Its goal is to create a safer environment, lower emergency response costs, and enhance the quality of life for residents through targeted, data-driven strategies.
