SUMMARY:Webinar: Fire Service Legislation -- Your Role in Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ryan Woodward \nThis Congress\, the NVFC is supporting funding for Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG)\, Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grants\, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA)\, Volunteer Fire Assistance Grants (VFA)\, National Firefighter Registry (NFR) for Cancer\, and Rural EMS Training (SIREN) Grants. The NVFC is also advocating for the passage of legislation to reauthorize SAFER\, AFG\, and USFA\, fund the renovation and construction of fire stations\, improve mental health care for first responders\, and expand the eligibility of federal housing benefits to volunteer first responders. \nIf enacted\, each of these policy and funding priorities will greatly assist the volunteer fire service in keeping Americans safe. You\, as an NVFC member and volunteer responder\, have a valuable role to play in encouraging Congress to act on these initiatives. This webinar presented by Ryan Woodward\, NVFC chief of legislative & regulatory affairs\, will provide a primer on the current political climate in Washington\, the NVFC’s policy priorities\, and what you can do to encourage your Senators and Member of Congress to support these priorities. Register.
