NRAM – National Radon Action Month

Welcome to the AARST NRAM 2022 Resource Guide. This page has several communication tools to help equip the radon community to spread awareness and help save lives. Included, you will find ideas, templates, and instructions on making a successful NRAM in your community. AARST is here to support your efforts and cheer on your successes as you participate in National Radon Action Month. Send us your accomplishments, and we will feature your successes on our social media platforms all month long! YOU SAVE LIVES EVERY DAY – THANK YOU!

Resources for your success!

While creating radon awareness should be a year-long endeavor, January has been used to bring extra visibility to the cause. Radon professionals have acquired proclamations, tv and radio ads, distributed our multi-language resource guides to their communities, and connected with customers with our pre-made social media posts. This year we are excited to add a printable door hanger and postcard. You can even add your company logo!

The AARST Advocacy committee has thoughtfully assembled several NRAM resources to help you spread the word about the hazards of elevated radon levels. If you have any suggestions for resources you would like to be available in the future, please email membership@aarst.org.

NRAM Proclamations

Proclamations are a way to connect with your local officials to proclaim January is National Radon Action Month. Need instructions? Download this Instruction sheet with templates to personalize your requests. When you get a proclamation, please share it with AARST; we will spread the word of your success on our Social Media platforms. DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE

Radon Consumer Guides 

Distribute information flyers to your customer (PDFs). With help from AARST Kentucky Chapter (KARP) and their partners from BREATHE, AARST is supplying you with three PDFs as supporting documentation to give to clients. These flyers have been made availble in multiple languages to aid in communicating with the diverse US population. Like it and want to make it your own? Zip files with spacing for your company branding are available on your AARST member dashboard. These materials are copyrighted; do not alter. If you need help, please email memberships@aarst.org.
