 Well, first of all, I don't think the media for being here to help us put this initiative out. I think this is a great idea for the community out there. Like, thanks my command staff for being here as well. And also, special thanks Dr. Thompson with the Ritchie County, he's Ritchie County Assistant Administrator. And we appreciate him being always supporting us all of our initiatives. So we just wanna kinda talk a little bit about this initiative that we have. We're here to unveil a new online tool. This will help our department and citizens. We serve, prepare for emergencies through collaboration. As a fire department, we always try to pre-plan buildings, those structures that we know that we need to go into, the possibility of going into for any type of emergency. This is no different. When we pre-plan those that we go in, we try to identify what a let's get turned on for us, the standpipes, sprinklers, etc., are just anything that's pertinent that we need to know when we go into that facility. So what we're here to unveil today is called Community Connect. And what this is designed to do is, let's say if oftentimes we may get just letters from people saying that I got this type of issue in my home, can you put it in our CAD and we'll put this in our CAD. So what we're doing today is we're getting people opportunity to do what it's called, they're gonna be actually pre-planning their own home. And this will give us information. If we go to that home, if there is some type of issue that's going on, let's say somebody's bedridden, if you have a key or elderly person, they got a key hidden someplace, we can put that, they can put information into that system. And what we want people to do is really put whatever you feel comfortable into that information for us as we respond to your home. And certainly when we get there, we want to make every effort to make sure we're helping you. So this is what we're doing. Actually we're pre-planning, or you helping us to pre-plan your property. The one thing I can say about this also, it is safe, this information will not be distributed to anyone only to the fire service and our responding units as they begin to respond to your location. So what you're actually doing is helping us lay out your property. So we know where all those, if you got pets there, if you got a small child there, again, if you're an elderly person, you have a key hidden someplace, opposed to putting that information on the radio, we want you to put that information in our app. And certainly we're gonna be talking about that and we'll actually do a demonstration how you can get to that app. So again, I appreciate you all being here. This is something that we feel real good about. I think that also it's one of those things that we could not feel good about, but something that's gonna keep the public safe in the event that we respond to your home. And we know that you got certain ailments going on or you got certain needs. So again, so what I'm gonna do at this time is I'm gonna get out the way, and I'm gonna let Chief Broce come up. He gonna kinda walk you through this device. Chief Broce. So right now what we'll do, we'll give you a live demonstration of how the information actually works. So our PIO, Mike Desuma, will go into his account and he's gonna show you how he created an account and he's gonna show you what information that he put in there. So go ahead, Mike. Now it'll be on the screen here. So it's real easy. You'll basically log in through your email account. You'll create a password that's unique to you. One of the best features about the system is every year the system will automatically email the individual back, making sure that that account is still accurate and that is being kept up with. So Mike's already logged in. He's into a system. Now, Mike's gonna show you what information he put in there. So he's putting in his basic contact information. Why is that important? Well, because when we get an alarm at let's say two or three in the morning, perhaps the person's on vacation, they're out of town, whatever the situation may be, now we have the resources on site to be able to contact that individual or at least attempt to contact that individual. And it works both for residential properties as well as for businesses too. So Mike's entered his contact information. So go ahead. You don't put your real number there. All right, so now we've got Mike's contact info. He's putting eight, five, six numbers really good area code by the way, same. All right, so you also see a box up there for COVID. Even though that some areas COVID is kind of diminished a little bit, it's still a concern on many people's minds. And so again, now responders have that information. If someone in the house is dealing with COVID, we have that information into the system. He's also gonna put how many occupants reside in the facility. It's extremely important for us when we arrive to the scene. If we arrive to the scene of a residential structure, and let's say when we arrive, two of the individuals are outside, but we've got information letting us know that there should be five outside. That lets us know what we need to do. We also will get this information at the time of alarm. And so what does that mean? That means at the time, the 911 call is sent to the firefighters, they have all of this information. They can make operational and tactical decisions on their way to the truck, on their way to the house and change whatever needs to be done for a positive outcome. Now, show them the pet part. And so here's another unique feature of this system. In many cases, inside the family, your pet is a member of the family. And so we understand that, we believe that as well. So we have a section in there so individuals can also put their pets. So not only for your children, the humans in your house, but also your pets. So Mike has put his pet in there. He's also given us the vet contact information should we need to contact a vet during an emergency. And we also have a picture of the dog. And also we ask citizens to put anything in there about the dog that we need to know. So perhaps if the dog is territorial or the dog's a bit aggressive, that's all information that firefighters would need to know as we arrive on scene so we can take the proper precautions. And then last, Mike, show them the functional needs. So here's the functional needs. So Mike has created a fake person, Agatha Desuma. Agatha is 75 years old. This individual is deaf slash hard of hearing, a vision impaired as Alzheimer's and dementia, and some other altered mental statuses. Again, very valuable information for responders to know this before we arrive. That lets us know if we need to call for additional units, if we need to take further precautions as we pull up to this house. It also is information that we can pass on to our partners in law enforcement. If we arrive to a house and individual has altered mental status, they can perhaps call a specialist and they can also help de-escalate the situation should we need to. Utilities and access. And then utilities and access. This goes back into what Chief Jenkins was mentioning about pre-planning. One of our big features is making sure that we understand the buildings that we're going into. Where are the utilities? How do we cut them off in the event of an emergency? And then how do we turn them back on when we leave if we need to? Well, this does the same thing for your home. Believe it was last winter, we saw an increased number of pipes bursting because of the freezing temperatures. Well, we have this information. When we arrive, we know exactly where the water cut-offs are and we can take the appropriate actions. So I believe that's it for that. And then last but not least, Mike, the smoke alarms. You don't have to add a request. So here's another feature. One of the most important. Here at Columbia Fire, our goal is to install as many smoke alarms as possible. One way to do that is the old fashioned way we call in and we get the request through the system. And now you'll be able to request your smoke alarms through Community Connect. It will go to our public education officer and then we can schedule it and be more efficient in making sure we get these smoke alarms installed. And then we can also track in the community exactly where we're installing them.
