Karen Berard-Reed
National Fire Protection Assoc. Community Risk Reduction Strategist
Quincy, MA
I am an energetic, collaborative professional working to develop innovative solutions in the Community Risk Reduction arena. CRR is a process where communities assess safety risks and develop a plan to mitigate these risks. The plans require joint efforts across community partners - most frequently with the Fire Department holding a central role. As a member of the CRR team at the National Fire Protection Association, I appreciate opportunities to connect with stakeholders in the field for mutually-beneficial learning exchanges. I am attending this conference because I would like to learn more about the CSR movement and the applications that align with Community Risk Reduction.
