CXB multimedia: Fire

[Updated 23 March with consolidated guidance on mitigating fire risk and managing fires]

The winter season brings increased risk of fire as the weather is dry and fires are used to stay warm. These communication products are designed to help agencies accurately and effectively communicate fire risk and precautions; and how people can take action if a fire breaks out in their area of the camp.

• Illegal transfer of LPG: Video
• Standard installation process and safe usage of LPG (Music Video): High Resolution and Low Resolution
• Factual audio package - 5'30" - Featuring Rohingya people talking about their fire-related concerns and an interview with the station officer from Cox's Bazar Fire Service & Civil Defence.
• Audio messages for use with hand mics / loudspeakers - Rohingya language messages covering fire risks and precautions; and information about what to do in the event of a fire.
• Three sets of flashcards on fire risks and precautions, with Bangla guide text for facilitators. Set 1 covers precautions to reduce fire risks. Set 2 provides advice about what to do in the event of a fire. Set 3 gives guidance on how to treat burns.
• Animation on fire risks and precautions.

[NEW] The Emergency Communication Taskforce of the CwC Working Group has created guidance explaining how to mitigate the risk of fire and manage fires. This is not a list of messages to be read aloud to the community: rather, communicators are encouraged to use this information to support their Communicating with Communities activities.
