1.8 HANDLING UNSOLICITED AND UNPLANNED<br />
REQUESTS<br />
Occasionally unexpected requests will be received to present a fire<br />
prevention program. These requests may put the instructor in the<br />
awkward position of wanting to add the presentation to the schedule<br />
but being short on time, materials and promotional items.<br />
While it is difficult to always avoid such predicaments, you can<br />
significantly reduce their impact by doing the following:<br />
• Carefully consider the request to see if it meets the fire<br />
prevention program goals.<br />
• Determine if it is worth the time it will require to gather extra<br />
materials and promotional items and organize a presentation.<br />
• If the schedule won't allow you to meet the request, try to<br />
provide a Teachers' <strong>Guide</strong>, if available, including lesson plans<br />
so the teacher can present the material. Include names arid<br />
phone numbers as a reference in case the teacher has any<br />
questions.<br />
• Try to utilize existing programs to meet the needs of the<br />
unplanned requests.<br />
• Consider asking other presenters from within the agency or<br />
cooperative agency to fulfill the request.<br />
• On an annual basis, budget for and order additional items to<br />
help cover unplanned requests. Also, know how to obtain more<br />
materials when necessary.<br />
