Charon McNabb, President of National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Association (NCOAA) came to MI Prevention a year into our strategic plan with goals to educate and protect first responders and citizens against CO poisoning. NCOAA and MI Prevention have established an amazing relationship that works on several projects in reducing CO Poisoning, including establishing the first ever National CO Coalition. NCOAA is a Rockstar for many reasons, but our favorite is there “Protect the Protectors” campaign, which puts a personal CO monitor that reads CO down to 6 ppm, to detect CO in homes while responding to calls in their communities. This type of detection has caught many CO leaks in residents’ homes. NCOAA also has a blow device that allows fire fighters to test their CO levels after fighting fires, to reduce CO poisoning as well as, develop data trends on this issue among first responders.
Congratulations on your Rockstar status with a great program “Protect the Protectors” and MI Prevention looks forward to working on more projects with NCOAA.
