A Safe Community project begins with a data analysis that indentifies particular injury probelms within that community. Over time, the coalition expands its scope identifying and targetting additional injury problems and implementing additional injury prevention activities. This event introduced Safe Communities to thousands of traffic safety and public health, law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical services professionals, as well as educators and community leaders. A workshop that explores the Safe Communities approach was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in April. In Boca Raton people are injured and killed at home, at work, at play, and on our roads.
