See you there!
New Naloxone Resources
PRISM members' have asked, and Risk Control answered by developing a new training on the Vector Solutions platform, Administering Naloxone. This 15-minute micro-training will provide viewers with the knowledge and skills needed to prevent opioid-related deaths by using naloxone, a drug that can reverse an overdose. This training also incorporates the very informative Administering Naloxone video produced by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Safe and Active Communities Branch. In addition to the training video, there is a 5-question quiz to measure learner comprehension.
 
This training can be assigned by administrators, and training completions can be tracked on the Vector Solutions platform to satisfy part of the training requirement in a school district's Naloxone Program. If your district has not yet created a program and would like program guidance, our new risk simplified on Naloxone Program Administration for School Districts is the perfect place to start.
 
For more information about this training, getting set up with Vector Solutions, or the new risk simplified, please contact Risk Control.
Property Program Grants
Members of PRISM’s Property Program are eligible to apply for a Property Program Grant, which includes up to $25k per member, per fiscal year, on a matching basis. Funds may be used for risk control programs and projects designed to reduce exposures associated with the Property Program.

One great way to use these matching funds is to protect vacant buildings.
