Emergency Response & Responder Safety
In January 2020 the NFPA began overhauling its Emergency Response & Responder Safety standards suite; a 5-year undertaking intended to improve the usability of its consensus products for all stakeholders; education communities among them. Most school districts, colleges and universities have significant public safety enterprises that rely upon them.
Emergency Response and Responder Safety Document Consolidation Plan
NFPA 1670 NFPA 1858 NFPA 1983 Consolidation Overview
We will participate in this undertaking. We cannot do everything but we can continue to do what we have always done — track public input and comment on about 50 of the 300-odd NFPA core titles; interact with like-minded experts who have a keen sense of the competing requirements of economy and safety. Of particular interest to us today are the communication system titles:
Standard for the Fire Protection of Telecommunications Facilities
Guide on Principles and Practices for Communications Systems
Standards for Emergency Services Communications
Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems
Standard for Public Safety Telecommunications Personnel Professional Qualifications
Standard on Two-Way, Portable RF Voice Communications Devices for Use by Emergency Services Personnel in the Hazard Zone
NFPA titles are on the standing agenda of most of our colloquia — Security, Prometheus, Radio, Disaster and Power, among them. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone. We usually schedule a separate mark-up session to prepare responses to the calls for public consultation.
As always, we encourage direct participation in the NFPA Standards Development process. CLICK HERE to get started.

The American Food for American Schools Act * would strengthen the existing “Buy America” provision to the existing National School Lunch Program.
First, it would establish a waiver process for schools to purchase foreign food items, requiring permission from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Then the waiver would have to be publicly posted online, and emailed to parents or guardians of the students attending the school.
Only two conditions could suffice for a waiver to buy foreign foods. One is if the items are not sufficiently produced or reasonably available from American producers. The other is if the costs of the American product is “significantly” more expensive than its foreign alternative.
