Mass Notification
Students, their parents, and the general public want to know about the emergency notification procedures that campuses have
in place. Under the Clery Act campuses are required to provide "timely warning" of various criminal threats. The emergencies
faced by higher education, however, go far beyond those enumerated in the Clery Act and include severe weather, large fires,
class cancellations, bomb threats, and hazardous material contamination incidents, as well as threats from deranged individu-
als.
The interest in this subject is on target for this years conference and expo. Mass Notification has been the campus "buzz-word"
for quite sometime now. How does Mass Notification work for the campus environment and the challenges of campuses and
the technology to make these systems work. How loud should your messages be? What will make them intelligible to your
occupants? Where do you put the speakers and how many should you place? What is reasonable and responsible? In theory;
Mass notification systems are about people movement and getting the message out in a timely fashion.
These events and others that have unfolded over the last couple of years have caused a great swing in the Educational market-
place. New guides, standards and codes are being developed. Many were already in the making but recent events have forced
the industry to step up the pace. With that I would like to report on what these new papers are and where they are coming
from. Many companies will or have started approaching the universities with their bag of products and calling it “Mass Notifica-
tion”. I offer to provide a training session on exactly what Mass Notification is, what NFPA, NEMA and other organizations are
doing.
