Whereas , Safety Week, formerly known as Safety Stand Down, provides an opportunity for Michigan's First Responders to focus on the health, safety and survival of first response personnel; and,
Whereas , The safety of our first responders is significant all year round, and Safety Week provides a time to focus on issues that affect fire/EMS personnel and their family and friends every day; and,
Whereas , It is necessary to review safety policies, evaluate progress of existing programs and discuss department health and fitness; and,
Whereas , It is imperative, for the life and safety of our first responders, to correct any program areas, and provide training to ensure our first responders are prepared for any type of emergency situation; and,
Whereas , The Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union and the International Association of Fire Fighters work to support fire fighter health and safety each and every day; and now therefore be it,
Resolved , That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby proclaim the week of June 22, 2008, as Fire/EMS Health and Safety Week in Michigan.
