Manage Your Community Risk Reduction Programs

Command Established helps your department plan, execute, and report on CRR programs aligned with NFPA 1300. Publish request forms residents fill out from your public portal, triage every request on a kanban board, track smoke alarm installs, home safety visits, and community events—then prove your impact with real numbers.

One Page for Your Whole CRR Operation

The CRR page puts everything on five tabs: Activities for the work your crews perform, Programs for your ongoing initiatives, Requests for the triage queue of incoming resident requests, Forms for the public request forms you publish, and Stats for month-over-month and year-over-year impact metrics.

Let Residents Request Services Online

Stop taking smoke alarm requests over the phone and on sticky notes. Build a request form in minutes, publish it to your department's public portal, and share the link—or print the QR code—anywhere your community will see it.

The form builder supports twelve question types: short and long text, dropdowns, multi-select, checkboxes, yes/no, numbers with min/max bounds, photo and file uploads, dates, phone, email, and address. Add conditional follow-up questions that only appear when they're relevant ("Do you rent? → Has your landlord been told?"), offer an "Other" choice with a write-in box, and map answers directly onto the request—service address, preferred dates, contact details—so your staff can act on them without re-typing anything.

A public CRR request form on the department's public portal

What residents see: a clean, department-branded form—no account required.

Every submission is verified by email before it reaches your queue, so you never chase spam. Rate limiting and honeypot protection are built in. After confirming, residents get their own status page where they can see when your crew is scheduled to visit—and they're emailed automatically when the request is scheduled, completed, or declined.

Triage Requests on a Kanban Board

Verified requests land in the Requests tab as a four-column board: New, Scheduled, Completed, and Declined. Filter by program or by assignment—all requests, just yours, or the unassigned queue. Each card shows the requester, what they asked for, how long they've been waiting, and who owns it.

The request queue: drag a card to schedule, decline, or complete it.

Open a request to see everything the resident told you—every answer, every uploaded photo—alongside their contact details, preferred language, and a full status timeline. Assign it to a person, a crew, or both. Commit to a visit window and the resident sees it on their status page immediately.

From Request to Recorded Impact

When the visit happens, one click on Log activity opens a pre-filled activity form: the program, the address, the scheduled date, and a title are already there. Record what your crew actually did—alarms installed, batteries replaced, referrals made—and the request is automatically marked complete and linked to the activity. The resident gets a completion email, and the numbers roll straight into your program metrics. A request is what someone asked for; an activity is what your department did—and Command Established keeps the two connected.

NFPA 1300-Aligned Programs & Activities

Organize your outreach into programs and activities. Programs represent ongoing CRR initiatives—public education, home safety visits, smoke alarm installs, CO detector programs, car seat checks, school programs, senior safety, wildfire mitigation, and more. Each program type maps to NFPA 1300 categories so your data is ready for federal reporting.

Under each program, schedule individual activities and capture what matters: contacts reached, households visited, smoke alarms installed, CO detectors placed, car seats inspected, materials distributed, and referrals made. Assign personnel and track hours so you know exactly who contributed and how much time your department invests in community risk reduction.

Public Event Pages Your Community Can Find

When you mark an activity as published, it gets its own public URL—no login required. Community members see the event title, date and time, location with an interactive map, your department's contact information, and a full event description. An "Add to Calendar" button lets them download an ICS file straight to their phone or computer.

After the event, the page automatically updates with a summary of what your department accomplished: contacts reached, households visited, smoke alarms installed, and more. Every CRR activity becomes a discoverable community resource that shows your department's impact.

Every published activity can be printed as a letter-size flier with your department's logo, event details, a location map, and a QR code that links directly to the public event page. Request forms get the same treatment: print a "Scan to request a service" QR code for station lobbies, senior centers, and community events. Print fliers for bulletin boards, hand them out at events, or post them in station lobbies—one click to print, one scan to reach you.

Need just the QR code? Download it as a standalone PNG for newsletters, social media posts, or other materials. The code always points to your live public page, so community members get the latest details no matter where they scan it.

Document Every Activity with Photos

Upload up to ten photos per activity to document your department's community engagement. EXIF data is extracted automatically to record when and where each photo was taken. Use the photos in grant reports, community newsletters, annual reports, and social media—visual proof of the work your department does every day.

Track Your Impact with Real Numbers

The Stats tab aggregates metrics across all your programs and activities. See total contacts reached, households visited, smoke alarms installed, CO detectors placed, car seats inspected, and materials distributed—this month and this year, side by side.

Pull the numbers you need for annual reports, grant applications, and ISO audits. Filter by date range to see year-to-date totals or drill into a single month. Your CRR data is always up to date and ready to share.
