An addition has been made to the Do-It-Yourself Safety Programs. Kansas
assessed and non-academic standards have been added to most of the programs.
The standards correlate to the programs subject matter and the project
audiences' age.
This addition should be beneficial to teachers and presenters who are

National Poison Prevention Week
More than 2 million poisonings are reported each year to
the 61 Poison Control Centers (PCCs) across the country. More than 90
percent of these poisonings occur in the home. The majority of non-fatal
poisonings occur in children younger than six years old. And, poisonings
are one of the leading causes of death among adults.
National Poison Prevention Week will be held March 20-26, 2011. If you
are interested in participating in a poison prevention event, contact your local
poison control center by call the nationwide toll-free number, 800-222-1222, and
asking to speak with a poison prevention educator.

Poison Prevention website

It's Fire Prevention Week.
Protect your Family from Fire!
Fire Prevention Week was established to
commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871
conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000
homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned
more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on October 8, but
continued into and did most of its damage on October 9,
1871.
Did You Know?
•One home structure fire was reported every 87 seconds in
2009.
•On average, seven people died in home fires every day.
Adults 65 and over face the highest risk of fire death.
•In 2009, U.S. fire departments responded to 362,500 home
structure fires. These fires caused 12,650 civilian
injuries, 2,565 civilian deaths, $7.6 billion in direct
damage.
The goal of “It’s Fire Prevention Week. Protect
your Family from Fire!” is to protect all families,
especially those at the highest risk. Visit the website
listed below to find resources for reaching those at highest
risk to fire deaths and injuries, including: instructions on
how to conduct an open house for older adults, activities
for reaching immigrant populations, and a FPW lesson plan
for adults with developmental disabilities.
