From: Travers, Timothy [mailto:TTravers@nfpa.org] Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 4:17 PM To: Travers, Timothy Subject: 2015 Needs Assessment Hi all, The National Fire Protection Association has launched the 2015 U.S. Needs Assessment survey, which works to capture the level of resources and staffing among U.S. fire departments, and to identify where fire departments are meeting their community’s needs and where there are gaps in service. For the survey, NFPA has partnered with the National Volunteer Fire Council, International Association of Fire Fighters, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs to share their perspectives on why it’s so important for U.S. fire departments to fill out the survey. The U.S. Fire Administration and the U.S. Congress rely on these surveys to identify gaps within the nation’s fire service. The more we know about our fire departments, the better we can address their concerns. For the first time ever, the survey is accessible online, making it easier for fire departments to fill out and return. (A print version can also be downloaded.) The survey must be completed by a fire department chief or an assigned designee. All surveys completed by January 15, 2016 will be entered into a drawing for a $1,000 gift card and choice of one of NFPA’s Public Fire Protection Standards. Please forward to your fire chiefs association or fire chief and ask them to take the time to fill out the 2015 U.S. Needs Assessment Survey. Just think, if there is no perceived needs there may be no future Assistance to Firefighters Grant Programs (AFGP)….
