What's at stake with the 2020 Census? Georgia firefighters say federal funding that will be used to help keep communities safe if residents do their part.
Firefighters in College Park, East Point, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell, South Fulton, and Union City are participating in the 2020 Census Fire Station Video Challenge.
Organizers said the contest is designed to highlight the importance of 2020 census data which determines federal funding for public safety and emergency management teams and to encourage Georgia residents to fill out their census forms.
Firefighters with the Milton Fire Department used humor to explain how important it is to have an accurate census count, to ensure Georgia receives its intended share of federal dollars when funds are distributed to state and local governments.
