Crash Responders Safety Week All States Planning
July 22, 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. EDT
Description
The CRSW All-States Planning Webinar will be hosted by the FHWA Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Program. This webinar is targeted for communications and public information staff and TIM program managers from every National, State, and local responder community.
During this webinar, the FHWA TIM team will discuss the 2026 CRSW theme and spotlight proven strategies that responder associations and governmental organizations can leverage to achieve our common goal and responsibility for safe, quick roadway clearance. The webinar will feature successful initiatives for promoting CRSW as well as an exercise in collaboration to better promote CRSW in 2026.
Every few seconds, a traffic incident responder puts his or her life on the line to aid crash victims and to safely and quickly clear crashes as well as other traffic incidents that could otherwise result in a secondary crash. Every year traffic incident responders are killed in the line of duty or bear life-long scars from life-altering injuries.
Crash Responder Safety Week (CRSW) affords a unique opportunity for every Traffic Incident Management (TIM) community member to make a difference individually and jointly for roadway safety during traffic incidents. Traffic incident response is a collaborative effort engaging EMS, law enforcement, fire and rescue, public works, towing and recovery, transportation, and other disciplines. TIM communities across the nation can come together this CRSW, taking place November 2-6, 2026, by teaching each other and all road users about our common goal and responsibility for safe, quick roadway clearance.
