FOR INTERNAL USE

Widgets from News Alert and other NSC publications

This is copy-and-paste code for putting content bits in the sidebars of other pages on the nsc.org and members-only websites. When Membership News Alert changes, the widgets change -- automatically. If we ever wanted to offer them as sidebar features for member intranets or other sites, as we do for safety tips of the week, we'd want to modify them to add links back to NSC.

What should I know about Fourth of July fireworks?

According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fact sheet, in 2006:


  • 11 people died and an estimated 9,200 were treated in emergency departments for fireworks-related injuries in the United States.
  • An estimated 5 percent of fireworks-related injuries treated in emergency departments required hospitalization.
Many states ban certain types of fireworks. The American Pyrotechnics Association in Bethesda, MD, offers downloadable lists of regulations by state.

The NSC Library is a valuable member benefit. E-mail the staff with your specific questions.

Every Second Counts

News Alert headlines

The last five stories in a single section of News Alert, with links to pages containing the last five stories in each of the other sections. This would be ideal for specialized areas of the Members Only site.

Leave the iframe's source URL as it is to display the "In the news" section. To force the widget to display a different section initially, replace C1 with: C105 for the transportation section; C2 for home and community; and C4 for council news.

The length is variable but can run quite long once the detailed story page is opened, so it would be best to use it as the last item in a sidebar. It will scroll if the story is long.
