THREE INTERVENTIONS TOOLKIT

The Harborview Injury Prevention Research Center developed this important toolkit to raise community awareness about three critical interventions provided by Washington State to support an individual in crisis. The three interventions include:

• Firearm Safe Storage provides an effective way to keep you and your family safe. Safe storage sites provide temporary firearm storage options outside the home. HIPRC’s Firearm Injury & Policy Research Program has created Washington State’s first-ever “Firearm Safe Storage Map,” which helps people in crisis identify local options for temporary, voluntary firearm storage.

• Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) allow families or law enforcement to petition a judge to restrict individual possession and purchase of firearms using a civil order.

• Voluntary Waiver of Firearm Rights (Voluntary Do-Not-Sell) lets people voluntarily and confidentially restrict immediate access to firearm purchases.
