Lincoln County SAFE KIDS

The Lincoln County SAFE KIDS Coalition goals are to reduce the number of children and adults hurt or killed due to unintentional and preventable injuries. The coalition along with other agencies will focus on the leading killers of children under the age of 14 which include fire & burns, motor vehicle accidents (bicycle and pedestrian accidents), drowning, choking/suffocation, poisoning, and falls.

With the help of a broad-based group of community members we will be responsible for increasing public awareness of unintentional preventable injuries and deaths. We will help to implement safety programs in the community, evaluating safety programs, and participating in public initiatives. We will also update the Lincoln County Commissioners, Lincolnton City Council and the North Carolina Department of Insurance - Office of State Fire Marshal on our progress on the different programs we implement.

One of our goals was to get the Risk Watch Program into each Lincoln County classroom from K through 8th grade and one copy in each day care in Lincoln County. As of September of 2001 we had reach that goal and we are now working with the teachers in training our kids with the Risk Watch materials. Another one of our goals is to do at least one car seat safety check once a quarter along with other education workshops.

Some of the agencies that are members of Lincoln County SAFE KIDS are:
