<br />B(4). Hazard Awareness Videos <br /> <br />Project Description: <br /> <br />Videos have become an important method of communicating, entertaining, and informing, They <br />are viewed daily by many families, babysitters, and individuals, The development of <br />community-based educational videos is both necessary and efficient. There is almost no other <br />way to provide as much consistent, factual, and credible information in a single format, <br />The City of Fort Collins, Colorado's 1998 Project Impact Community, is planning to produce ten <br />20-minute videos covering a wide range of community hazards, These will be available to other <br />Project Impact communities across the nation, Each video will follow a consistent format and <br />will use sound educational methodology, ensuring maximum impact at all age and maturity <br />levels, The format will include both occurrences that lead up to the event and how to better <br />prepare for the event by using current mitigation methods, The local theater in Fort Morgan has <br />expressed interest in Project Impact and will volunteer time and equipment to show the all- <br />hazards videos to audiences during specified times of the year, Additionally, Morgan County <br />Community College has partnered with Project Impact and will run specified videos on its local <br />educational cable channel. <br /> <br />Benefits: <br />To develop a network to disseminate hazard awareness and preparedness information to a <br />targeted group, We will see a reduction by approximately 60% by awareness, <br /> <br />Project Actions Include: <br /> <br />. Partner with City of Fort Collins for availability of all-hazard videos. <br />· Provide preparedness information applicable to each hazard type. <br />. Describe common weather conditions typical for each hazard, <br />. Develop and target information for various age groups. <br />.
