Campus Fire Safety Outreach Materials Available

The U.S. Fire Administration, an entity of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), reviews and collects resources that can be used in public outreach activities to keep college and university students safe from on- and off-campus housing fires. These materials, available for campus administrators, include:

  • A digital media library that includes social media content, pictographs, stock photos, videos and other resources that can be used to increase awareness about campus fire safety;
  • statistics concerning housing fires, both on- and off-campus;
  • outreach materials, including reproducible handouts on campus fire prevention safety tips;
  • information to share with parents; and more.

Explore these materials at the U.S. Fire Administration website to learn more about discussing fire safety with students, their parents and campus housing administrators and staff.
