This digital tool will allow communities to quickly identify local risks to life and property, understand underlying conditions that may contribute to those risks, and activate teams to develop CRR plans informed by data. mySidewalk’s technology is interactive, mobile friendly, and ADA compliant and will allow users to share their Community Risk Assessments with stakeholders.

“Communities face a myriad of issues in the Fire and Life Safety Ecosystem and need a simple way to look at a number of data sources to identify their most pressing risks,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA Vice President of Outreach and Advocacy.

Combining information and technology

Lorraine adds, “We are excited to combine relevant information and technology into a new resource that will ultimately help them better prioritize and assign resources against risks.”

“mySidewalk is thrilled to work with the NFPA on this critical mission,” said Stephen Hardy, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of mySidewalk, adding “Combining NFPA’s deep expertise with our data science platform will unlock insights and make communities safer.”

mySidewalk empowers community leaders and the public with the most complete, clear, and real-time understanding of their communities so that they can take the necessary steps to improve and innovate together.
