NFPA is looking for fire departments and older adult outreach agencies to attend a conference in Boston this November on “Remembering When: A Fire and Fall Prevention Program for Older Adults”. We’ll be selecting representatives from up to 35 communities to attend the conference, which will emphasize reaching older adults through home visits, to ensure that the program reaches the most vulnerable of older adults. For this purpose, we are asking fire departments to partner with an agency whose main outreach to older adults is through home visits. Such agencies may include visiting nurse associations, home health care agencies, church outreach groups and other organizations. The partner older adult agency will conduct the home visits.
