This session will explore how fire departments can continue helping their communities after any type of disaster—not just fires. By working with trusted emergency service partners like 1-800-BOARDUP, departments can provide fast, compassionate support to victims, help them start the recovery process, and protect them from unethical companies that show up on scenes. Rather than simply explaining what 1-800-BOARDUP does, this webinar will focus on real strategies fire departments can use to build partnerships that deliver lasting impact and strengthen public trust.

Key Takeaways:
  • Understand how the 4th Incident Priority applies across all types of incidents, not just fires.
  • Learn how to create a victim-focused recovery plan in collaboration with emergency service partners.
  • See real examples of how DES teams work alongside the fire service to support scene stabilization, property security, and victim advocacy.
  • Strengthen your department’s role in long-term community recovery and resilience.
