Communities of Georgia
Safe Communities is a model used by
communities all across the country to identify and address local
injury problems. Safe Communities are grounded in two basic
principles. They are founded on the goal of reducing traffic
injuries and are dependent upon a diverse group of partners for
their success. Safe Communities have four defining characteristics:
Data Linkage, Expanded Partnerships, Citizen Involvement and
Comprehensive Injury Control Programs. GOHS is proud to sponsor this
worthwhile organization throughout Georgia.
