COURSE DESCRIPTIONS (Partial List)

Community Risk Reduction and the Life Safety Ecosystem – Robby Dawson This session will review Fire and Life Safety Ecosystem and the critical processes needed to perform a Community Risk Assessment, develop a Community Risk Reduction Plan, and identify evaluation metrics based on the risks identified and the plan’s objectives. This program is based on the new NFPA Standard 1300 – Community Risk Assessment and Community Risk Reduction Plan Development. At the end of this program, attendees will be able to identify local sources of data that can be used to conduct a formal risk assessment and identify causal factors that can be reduced or eliminated through a formal planning and evaluation process.

NFPA 855 Energy Storage Systems Introduction and Overview – Robby Dawson This session will provide attendees with an overview of the new NFPA Standard on Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems which establishes criteria for minimizing hazards associated with this emerging technology. This session will highlight a recent catastrophic incident that seriously injured several emergency responders and caused significant damage to a fixed facility and outline the provisions of NFPA 855 which can mitigate those risks. While this standard is new and not incorporated into existing codes and regulations, inspectors can use this as a guidance document and implement the safety precautions to ensure the safety of residents, occupants, and firefighters.

Public Records in the Age of Social Media – Pat Gleason This presentation will cover emerging issues resulting from the role technology play in the communication and retention of public record as social media continues to complicate how local governments operate in the Sunshine State. Specifically, social media platforms such as email, Facebook, Snapchat, Texts, and Tweets, among others present possible implications for governmental agencies, yet are often overlooked when agencies are faced with public records requests. Retention of such communications and records will also be discussed.
