What does the design step in the planning process refer to?

The design step in the planning process specifically relates to determining the program itself. This phase involves defining the objectives, content, and structure of the program that aims to address fire safety and life safety issues. It encompasses identifying the target audience, the key messages to convey, and the methods of delivery.

By focusing on the program design, educators ensure that the material is relevant and tailored to the needs of the audience, making it more effective in achieving safety objectives. This step lays the foundation for subsequent phases, such as implementation and evaluation, ensuring that all elements of the program align with the overall goals of fire and life safety education.
