Get Ready for CO Awareness Month 2026
This year’s CO Awareness Month campaign, A Lifetime of Protection, focuses on a simple idea: carbon monoxide safety needs change as our lives change.
CO safety plays a role at every stage of life, including pre-birth and pregnancy, childhood, adulthood, and older adulthood. Each stage brings different risks, routines, and opportunities to protect the people around us.
This webinar will walk you through the 2026 campaign and show you how to use NCOAA’s toolkit & resources to bring it to life in your own community.
In this webinar, you’ll:
-
Get an overview of this year’s "A Lifetime of Protection" campaign and its four stages of life.
-
Explore the 2026 CO Awareness Month Toolkit, including ready-to-use social media content, email templates, and media resources.
-
Learn how to use and share campaign materials throughout November.
-
Discover ways to get your community involved through #ProofOfProtection and other awareness efforts.
-
Get ideas for adapting the campaign to your organization, audience, and community.
Join us and get ready to make the most of November!
