More than 3,000 local Comcast NBCUniversal employees and their families, friends and community partners will “make change happen” as they volunteer to improve seven sites as part of the 18th annual Comcast Cares Day, the nation’s largest single-day volunteer event.

From using technology to create positive change, such as teaching digital literacy skills, to mentoring youth, to stocking food banks, to beautifying parks, Comcast NBCUniversal employees volunteer during this celebration and throughout the year to make a lasting impact. To date, more than 1 million Comcast Cares Day volunteers have contributed over 6 million service hours to improve local communities at more than 10,000 projects.

This year, the Company expects more than 100,000 volunteers from Comcast, NBCUniversal, and for the first time Sky, to participate in projects across the country and around the world.

AAMA is one of the most effective organizations in the country in helping Latino families to become productive contributors. Comcast NBCUniversal employees and their families will gather May 4th to help landscape, power wash and provide upkeep for their vegetable garden. These efforts will help ensure AAMA is able to continue their mission to inspire and empower Latinos to pursue their potential and achieve success.


“As we celebrate our 18th annual Comcast Cares Day, we are delighted to partner with AAMA to give back to our local community here in Houston,” said Ralph Martinez, Senior Vice President, Comcast Houston Region. “It is incredible to see how we can drive meaningful change by bringing together our employees, their friends and families, and our community partners, both on this day and throughout the year. We are thankful for the participants and volunteers who continue to work to make a positive difference.”

The Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation will also provide grants to local partner organizations on behalf of volunteers who contribute their time on Comcast Cares Day. The grants will help Comcast’s partners continue their mission of serving the community throughout the year. To date, the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation has awarded nearly $25 million in grants to local nonprofit organizations who have served as partners on Comcast Cares Day.

Clear Channel Concedes, Takes Down Turner Billboards

4

In response to a petition filed by Tony Buzbee back in April, Clear Channel Outdoor has conceded and taken down the Alert Houston billboards that featured Mayor Turner’s face. The purported goal of the Alert Houston campaign was to encourage Houstonians to sign up to receive emergency alerts through the system. Buzbee’s petition claimed that the donation of the billboards to Mayor Turner by Clear Channel violated campaign finance laws.

Buzbee touted the concession as a huge victory: “By removing these billboards, Clear Channel is clearly acknowledging the lack of oversight in the approval of these billboards as a public safety campaign. These billboards were nothing more than a blatant campaign ad for Turner’s re-election. I will continue to speak up while everyone else remains silent. I will not stand for corruption of any kind. Ever.”

Houston Firefighters Equipped with Post-Fire Decontamination Kits to Fight Cancer Risk

0

Houston firefighters can now start the process of removing soot and other possible cancer-causing chemicals from their work gear while in the field. All HFD engines have been issued post- fire decontamination kits. The new decontamination kits allow for fast removal of soot and will also help prevent fire crews from tracking chemicals into their trucks, fire station and into or onto their personal belongings and eventually into their homes.

A study done by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health shows firefighters are nine percent more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than the general population. They also have a 14 percent higher risk of dying from cancer.

Completing on-scene gross decontamination immediately upon exiting the fire ground has shown an 85% reduction of fire ground contaminates from firefighters work gear.

“With the increased use of plastics and synthetics in modern day buildings firefighters are more likely to encounter exposure to toxins. Using decontamination methods in the field can play an integral role in preventing some of the cancer risks that firefighters face. The HFD is committed to creating a safe and healthy work environment for Houston firefighters. These kits are one component along with gear washers and diesel exhaust removal systems,” Sam Pena, Fire Chief.

Making Texas Schools Safer For Students And Teachers

2
The Office of Governor Greg Abbott today released a web video highlighting the signing of legislation to enhance school safety and expand access to mental health resources to make Texas schools safer and more secure for students and teachers. 

“Last spring, ten people were killed in a tragic shooting at Santa Fe High School, and I vowed that the state of Texas would do everything in its power to prevent a tragedy like this from occurring again,” said Governor Abbott.

“As the result of roundtables that were held in the aftermath, I made school safety an emergency item for the 86th Legislative Session, and because of the hard work of members in both chambers, as well as the many stakeholders, we accomplished this important task, and I am proud to sign legislation that makes schools safer for our students and teachers.”

Nine Houston Fire Stations Receive Technology to Remove Harmful Fumes

7
HOUSTON- Houston Fire Chief Sam Peña’s efforts to improve the health and safety of firefighters is in high gear with the installation of nine additional diesel exhaust removal systems in Houston fire stations. Due to the extremely busy emergency response system in Houston firefighters are exposed to vehicle fumes on a routine basis. When these vehicles are started, the exhaust infiltrates the living and sleeping areas of the fire stations that are staffed around the clock. Before Chief Pena implemented a department-wide health and safety initiative only one fire station out of 94 was equipped with exhaust removal systems . That number is now up to ten and includes stations 7,8, 9,16,21,25,51,28,60, and 31. Six more installations have been scheduled for stations 39,46,56,58,68, and 73. These are the busiest fire stations in the city and are responsible for deployment to a quarter of HFD’s emergencies. Approximately 600 of HFD’s firefighters are assigned to these stations.  These systems will provide a healthier and safer work environment for Houston’s busiest first responders. 

In 2017, the HFD applied to FEMA for an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) to begin modernizing and installing vehicle exhaust capture and removal systems. In July of 2018, the HFD was awarded the grant in the amount of $703,914, with a grant match obligation of $70,391.  Mayor Sylvester Turner and the Houston City Council approved the matching funds. 
 
There are still 78 fire stations that remain in need of vehicle exhaust systems. With an average cost of $80,000 per station, the retrofitting of the remaining fire stations will cost approximately $6,240,000.
 
“We are making great progress with the installation of a vehicle exhaust systems in our fire stations. But we still have work to do. Installing this equipment in each of our 94 fire stations is essential to creating a healthy and safe working environment for our employees. I appreciate the Mayor and the Houston City Council’s commitment and continued support of this initiative,” Sam Peña, Fire Chief.
 
The HFD will continue to pursue grant opportunities in forwarding its health and safety initiative with the plan to modernize 15 additional fire stations in calendar year 2019-2020.
