Since 1922, the National Fire Protection Association has sponsored the public observance
of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention
Week a national observance, making it the longest running public health observance in our
country. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe
in case of a fire. This year’s observance will be held October 3-9, 2021 and the theme for
FPW campaign is “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety!” The goal of the theme is to educate
everyone about the different sounds the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make.

Red Ribbon Campaign is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation,
reaching millions of young people during its weeklong campaign. The 2021 Red Ribbon
Week theme is “Drug Free Looks Like Me.”
4. Bullying Prevention Month
According to STOMP Out Bullying, October is National Bullying Prevention Month. During
this month, students, schools, and communities all over the world go “blue” together
against bullying. Throughout October, students and adults are encouraged to #BlueUp by
wearing blue, chosen because in many cultures blue is believed to bring peace. The color
also conveys importance and confidence.
5. Energy Action Month
National Energy Action Month (EAM) is a Federal Government-wide program that
promotes sustainability and energy efficiency, while encouraging the smart use of energy,
water, and transportation resources. EAM is designed to increase attention to energy use,
and to develop energy efficient behaviors that will continue throughout the year.
6. Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase
awareness of the disease. The mission of the Breast Cancer Foundation is to help those
affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services. Breast
Cancer Awareness Month helps support that education and awareness for women across
the world.
7. Domestic Violence Awareness Month
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Domestic Violence
Awareness Month was launched nationwide in October 1987 as a way to connect and unite
individuals and organizations working on domestic violence issues while raising awareness
of those issues. Over more than 30 years, much progress has been made to support
domestic violence victims and survivors, hold abusers accountable, and create and update
legislation to further those goals.
8. Youth Justice Awareness Month
National Youth Justice Awareness Month (YJAM) is held every October as an opportunity
for communities, families, youth, and allies to host actions and events that expose the
70

consequences of children being prosecuted and incarcerated in the adult criminal justice
system.
9. Disability Employment Awareness Month
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment, the theme for
National Disability Employment Awareness (NDEAM) 2021, “America’s Recovery: Powered
by Inclusion,” reflects the importance of ensuring that people with disabilities have full
access to employment and community involvement during the national recovery from the
COVID-19 pandemic. NDEAM is held each October to commemorate the many and varied
contributions of people with disabilities to America’s workplaces and economy.
10.Cybersecurity Awareness Month
According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, October is National
Cybersecurity Awareness month, with the goal of raising awareness about the importance
of cybersecurity across our Nation and ensuring that all Americans have the resources they
need to be safer and more secure online.
11.Arts and Humanities Month
October is National Arts & Humanities Month (NAHM), a coast-to-coast collective
recognition of the importance of culture in America. NAHM was launched by Americans for
the Arts more than 30 years ago as National Arts Week in honor of the 20th anniversary of
the National Endowment for the Arts. The City of Dublin recognizes the importance of the
arts as they add value to the community, celebrate diversity, encourage creativity, highlight
shared experiences, provoke thought and conversation, inspire reflection and emotion, and
increase community pride.
12.Global Diversity Awareness Month
Global Diversity Awareness Month was created to pay tribute to the diverse minds and
beliefs held by all cultures around the world. After World War II, the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly at the Palais de
Chaillot in Paris. The Declaration represents the first global expression of rights to which
all human beings are inherently entitled. During the month of October and throughout the
year, we continue to celebrate diversity.
13.Manufacturing Day
Held annually on the first Friday in October with events that continue throughout the
month, Manufacturing Day highlights the reality of modern manufacturing careers by
encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to
open their doors to students, parents, teachers, and community leaders. As manufacturers
seek to fill four million high-skill, high-tech, and high-paying jobs of the next decade,
Manufacturing Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective
challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive.
