Program Data Collection and Record

An essential component of a Smoke Alarm Installation Program is a required data collection and record keeping process. This often overlooked process is a key element of a successful program, as installation data helps your organization leadership identify trends for future targeted installation programs. It also provides critical data to justify funds with potential grantors.

Each time your organization performs a smoke alarm check in a citizen’s home, as well as when they perform an installation, they should collect and report the following data:.

• Address of the inspection/installation
• How was the inspection/installation initiated
  • Post-incident
  • Citizen request
  • Targeted campaign
• Type of occupancy
  • Single family dwelling
  • Multi-family dwelling
