A PROCLAMATION
CAMPUS FIRE SAFETY MONTH
WHEREAS:
Since january 2000, at least 163 individuals in the United States have died in campus-related fires. Approximately eighty-seven percent of those deaths occurred in off-campus residences; and
WHEREAS:
Many college students live in off-campus residences, fraternity and sorority housing, and residence halls that are not adequately protected with automatic fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems. A number of fatal fires have occurred in buildings where the fire safety systems have been compromised or disabled by the occupants. These systems are necessary for the safety of the occupants and are an effective means to quell fires; and
WHEREAS:
Fire safety education is an effective method of reducing the occurrence of fires and the resulting loss of life and property damage. It is important to educate young people in the United States about the importance of fire safety to help ensure fire-safe behavior by young people during their college years and beyond; and
WHEREAS:
By developing a generation of fire-safe adults, future loss of life from fires may be significantly reduced; now
THEREFORE: I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim September 2014 as CAMPUS FIRE SAFETY MONTH in Georgia.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 3rd day of January in the year of our Lord two thousand fourteen.
