Brookfield, Wis. – Not only is distracted driving still a serious problem, it is an epidemic. With each new mobile device introduced, the potential for behind-the-wheel distractions increases and so does an individual’s exposure to risk.
The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) and Federated Insurance have joined forces to help funeral homes address the concerns of distracted driving within their business and community. The new community outreach tool kit enhances Federated Insurance’s original “In the Blink of an Eye” campaign through a powerful message to “Please Make it Home Safe Today!”
The complimentary tool kit includes:
- “In the Blink of an Eye” and “Please Make it Home Safe Today” videos
- PowerPoint presentations including scripts and talking points
- A brochure outlining the effect distracted driving has on a community
“NFDA is pleased to partner with Federated Insurance to help bring awareness to the dangerous epidemic of distracted driving on America’s roadways,” said NFDA President W. Ashley Cozine, CFSP, CPC, CCO. “This ready-to-use program is available to all NFDA members to share in their businesses and communities. I hope you take advantage of this important benefit and request your copy today. You have the power to change behaviors and save lives!”
NFDA members are encouraged to share this important message by presenting to local colleges, high schools, community centers, senior living communities, churches, and other community service organizations. Having two programs to choose from enables funeral directors to use the one that best fits each audience.
“It’s up to each of us to make it a priority to end distracted driving,” said Jack West, National Account Executive of Federated Insurance. “The lives of everyone important to us may depend on it. We want everyone in your communities to make it home safely each and every day!”
