NFPA has established a fast-growing network of public educators and local safety advocates across North America who are effectively implementing Risk Watch in their communities. These dedicated individuals are called NFPA Champions.

Below is a complete listing of NFPA Champions who are available to answer questions you may have about introducing Risk Watch to your community. They also can provide insight into how they began implementing the program and offer suggestions for overcoming challenges you may face along the way.

Note: NFPA's Public Education Division is listed as the primary contact for states that do not have state/province-level Champion listings at this time.

NFPA Field Advisors

NFPA Field Advisors are representatives across North America who provide guidance to NFPA Champions and others working to implement Risk Watch in their communities. Each advisor is responsible for a particular set of states or provinces, as noted below. If you work in a state that a Field Advisor covers, you may contact him or her with questions you may have about implementing Risk Watch in your community.
