When you avert a 911 call, how do you prove that you did it? How do you make success of risk reduction visible and tangible? These are the difficult but crucial challenges faced by leaders seeking to implement CRR focused on the intersection of public health and safety. This panel will draw together interdisciplinary experts (fire/EMS, data analytics, public health, and social services) from multiple fire departments to discuss key topics including identifying community health risks to target, measuring success and demonstrating value of public health/public safety initiatives, and leveraging partnerships with academic institutions to achieve these ends.
