The Council offers easy home safety education materials through the Home Safety Literacy Project, which provides an alternative to text-heavy public safety handouts. Designed for those adults who read at lower levels and who are learning to speak English, the first phase of the project introduced highly illustrated fire safety teaching tools. The second phase combines home fire safety education with disaster preparedness training.
