Typically, Community Risk Reduction programs use a six-step approach towards development. Step 1: Identify Risks Step 2: Prioritize Risks Step 3: Develop Strategies & Tactics to Mitigate Risks Step 4: Prepare the CRR Plan Step 5: Implement the CRR Plan Step 6: Monitor, Evaluate, and Modify the CRR Plan The Community Risk Assessment Guide has been developed to help fire departments and other organizations to conduct a basic or more complex assessment of risks within their community. Ultimately, the results of the risk assessment can be used to develop a CRR plan. The guide describes various processes and methods used in the first two steps of developing a CRR plan: Identification of Risks and Prioritization of Risks. This is followed by a description on how to put it all together, with an example of how a risk assessment document might be compiled. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of additional resources that can be utilized in developing a risk assessment.
