Risk-Based Decision Support in Managing Unwanted Alarms
Three reports were produced for this project. The first is a literature review, the second is a report that describes the tool and the underlying model that estimates costs, losses and other impacts for alternative strategies. It includes national data needed for calculating fire losses under alternate strategies. A third report details a local data form that was also developed to collect data for use in the tool.
