Native Americans have the highest fire mortality rate which is 2.3 times higher than any other demographic group. Having working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in Native homes can substantially lower that inequity and save lives.

Since 2019, the JHU Smoke Alarm Project, funded by FEMA, has distributed over $2.7M in free smoke and carbon monoxide to Tribal Nations across the country.

Join John Hopkins University and the Native American Code Officials to learn about the program and hear directly from officials from the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, the Nez Perce Tribe, and the Indian Health Services on their participation in the program.
