Are your safety education programs missing members of the community who may need these lessons the most?

More than 93 million adults in the U.S., 40 percent of the adult population, have trouble reading in English. This presents a serious barrier to understanding the key fire protection and disaster preparedness measures that would help keep them and their families safe at home. The Home Safety Literacy Project is specially designed and evaluated to provide highly illustrated and easy-to-read fire safety and disaster preparedness education materials suitable for adults at all reading levels.

Register now to join the Home Safety Council for the Home Safety Literacy Project Webinar on Wednesday, May 14 . By participating, you’ll learn the most effective ways to use the Home Safety Council’s low-cost materials to reach high risk members of your local community with lifesaving fire safety and disaster preparedness messages.
