The Awareness Program was designed to do the most good in a compressed time frame with the funds that were available. Information on smoke detector installation and maintenance was presented along with other life safety essentials. Passing a smoke detector ordinance requiring detectors in all private residences would be the most positive step toward home fire safety that a community could make. The ordinance would receive an extreme amount of publicity, some good and some bad. No matter how a citizen felt about the issue, they would become more aware of the necessity of smoke detectors in their homes.

As the problems of injury and death continue within the community, the budget cuts continue. This research project's purpose was to find programs available to the Houston Fire Department that would reduce the community risk problem. The research project utilized an evaluative methodology.

Which 5 programs identified can be most effectively accomplished with the lowest cost to the department? 3. Which 5 programs identified will reach the largest number of citizens? 4.
