March 7th, 2010

Hello and welcome to Columbus, Ohio for our 7th Annual Professional Development Conference and
Expo. As the largest campus fire safety conference event of its kind to date, I am honored to welcome the
250 plus people who have assembled to make this record setting event possible

This conference marks the continuation of further enlightened efforts in the area of Campus Fire Safety,
Security and Risk Management. The composition of training, education, and new technologies has led to
new emerging trends and educational programs to make safe campuses around the world.

January 19th of this year marked the 10th anniversary of the deadly fire at Seton Hall University in which
three students lost their lives to fire in a residence hall. At that time, the United States had a rash of fires
and fire-related deaths of college students. These last 10 years have brought national attention to the ef-
forts, programs, and new laws put into place to allow changes aimed at preventing such tragedies in the
future. We thank you for having the vested interest to see our nation’s future leaders safe from fire as they
go off to college and learn to be our leaders of tomorrow.

I would also like to thank our key corporate partners who help and supports us to make this event possible.
I can hold my head high to say there is no other active organization that can provide you the training we
have assembled, the facilities we have offered and the housing we have provided you for the cost of these
two days! And I am proud to say it has been that way since we organized our first professional develop-
ment program eight years ago.

Enjoy your time in Columbus and remember: Education is the Key to Success!!

Have a great stay,

CONVERSATION SKILLS

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 some time 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 start or have started to approach the universities with their bag of products and calling it “Mass
Notification.” I offer to provide a training session on exactly what Mass Notification is and what NFPA, NEMA and other organi-
zations are doing.

MR. RODGER REISWIG WHAT IF IT HAPPENED

ON YOUR CAMPUS?
Mr. Rodger Reiswig is the Director of Industry Relations at Simplex- On April 16, 2007 a Virginia Tech student
Grinnell and has over two decades of experience in the life-safety went on a rampage that killed 32 fellow
industry. He serves on a multitude of industry boards and students. Then on February 14, 2008, a
committees, including the Technical Committee for NFPA 72 Northern Illinois University student
and the newly created Chapter 12 for Emergency Communications gunned down five other students
Systems. He is also a principal member of the NFPA 72 before killing himself. Students,
Technical Correlating Committee, which has oversight their parents, and the general public
over all the chapters in NFPA 72. want to know about the emergency
notification procedures that cam-
puses have in place.

Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act

The Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act (sponsored by Congressman Bill Pascrell and Senator Frank Lautenberg, both of New
Jersey) requires colleges to report fire safety information to the U.S. Department of Education. Many of the core ideals of the
Right-to-Know Act were successfully included in the recently enacted Higher Education Opportunity Act. As a result, academic
institutions will be required to make annual fire safety reports available to the public Many of the core ideals of the Right-to-
Know Act were successfully included in the recently enacted Higher Education Opportunity Act. The Center for Campus Fire
Safety (CCFS) is actively working with the US Department of Education as they develop the regulations that will ultimately guide
colleges and universities through their compliance with Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know.

Some of the specific reporting details include:

 The number of fires and the cause of each fire
 The number of injuries and deaths related to a fire
 The value of property damage caused by a fire
 Description of the fire protection equipment (alarms/sprinklers) in each on-campus housing unit
 The number of regular mandatory supervised fire drills, policies or rules on regarding fire safety
education and training programs provided to students, faculty and staff plans for future improvements in fire safety,
if determined necessary by such institution.

THE CENTER FOR

CAMPUS FIRE SAFETY
The Center for Campus Fire Safety (CCFS) is a non-profit organiza-
tion devoted to reducing the loss of life from fire at our nation's
campuses. The mission of the Center for Campus Fire Safety is to
serve as an advocate for the promotion of campus fire safety.

The Center serves as the focal point for the efforts of a number of
organizations and also as a clearinghouse for information relating
to campus fire safety.

A Balanced Approach to Campus
Lockdowns - Student Safety First
With the recent events on campus,
we at look at campus lockdown from
the safety of the campus community
and from the code compliance aspect.
Can we really lock people into a build-
ing? (016) - Presented by the Interna-
tional Code Council
Changing the Culture: From Celebra-
tory Rioting to Good Fan Behavior
Riotous threatening fan behavior at
major sporting events is a major topic
of concern. Using enforcement tactics
along with a major push on Good
Sportsmanship helped transform the
football game day culture at The Ohio
State University. After the 2002 Ohio
State University vs. University of
Michigan football game, the Ohio
State University experienced the
worse celebratory rioting in its his-
tory. In December of 2002 the Ohio
State President and City of Columbus
Mayor charged a group of faculty,
staff, students, alumni, community
members, city officials and university
administrators with investigating the
causes and the most effective strate-
gies for preventing the threatening
riotous behavior. - (032) Presented by
The Ohio State University
Ten Qualities of a Well Protected
University
The session would detail the ten
qualities that university facilities
should have in order to protect the
institution's physical assets. It is an-
ticipated the information presented
will inspire attendees to look at their
universities with a loss prevention
view and identify areas for improve-
ment. We will identify the hazards
and risks presented by university
facilities and operations, including
some discussion regarding the science
of the various hazards, the loss
experience related to those hazards,
and loss prevention measures to
avoid losses resulting from the haz-
ards identified. (004) - Presented by
FM Global
UL Certification Program for
Proprietary Supervising Stations
UL will soon be offering a certification
program for Proprietary Supervising
stations. This program will provide
operators of monitoring centers such
as college campuses, manufacturing
facilities and retail organizations who
monitor their self-owned properties
the confidence that their monitoring
centers comply with nationally recog-
nized codes. Code authorities will also
have the confidence that these types
of facilities, which are many times
located in distant cities, comply
with Proprietary Supervising Station
requirements found in the National
Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72). (0036) -
Presented by Underwriters Laborato-
ries (UL)
Preparing for the Crisis We Hope
Never Happens
Preparation will help mitigate the
effects of crisis when it happens. This
program examines the pre-incident
planning, response tools used during
a crisis, National Incident Manage-
ment System and the post incident
stress response, which is inevitable in
student body or staff. This is a great
eye-opener for new or veteran staff
who have never had to deal directly
with or been on the "front line" dur-
ing a major crisis. (018) - Presented by
Tri-Harbour training
Water-Based Fire Protection and the
Impairments That Cause Failures
This session provides information on
the importance of obstruction investi-
gations to the operability of auto-
matic sprinkler systems and water
based fire protection. We will provide
real world examples of the failures of
a sprinkler systems due to obstructed
sprinkler piping, lack of maintenance
and the resulting large loss fire. (006)
- Presented by Hughes Associates
Lab Safety - Fire Code Compliance On
Your Campus (NFPA 45)
This workshop will be in part an over-
view of NFPA 45. The standard on
Laboratories and facilities using
chemicals. This standard provides
basic requirements for the protection
of life and property in laboratory work
where hazardous chemicals are han-
dled through prevention and controls
of fires and explosions. To protect
personnel from the effects of toxic,
corrosive, or otherwise hazardous
chemicals to which they may exposed
as a result of fire or explosion. We will
provide participants with a detailed
fire safety inspection checklist they
will be able to begin using immedi-
ately upon return to their campus.

Fire Department, Corvallis, Oregon
Fire Safety Training and Education for
College Students
Welcome NIFAST where our commu-
nity comes to interact and share best
fire safety training and education for
college students. Fire safety does not
come naturally for most as we have
learned through our many years of in-
depth study. Expert knowledge is the
key to being fully prepared. Why
should fire safety only be considered
one month out of every year, when
hundreds of lives are lost everyday
due to accidental fires-fires that could
have easily been prevented with edu-
cation? Repetitive and targeted reme-
diation ensure that the teachings will
be retained. We will offer ways to
provide a solid education to your stu-
dents. (033) - Presented by NiFAST
conduct, media coverage, evaluation,
and improvement planning. Atten-
dees will learn how to make the most
of the opportunities created during an
exercise to build relationships within
the campus and with outside agen-
cies, improve response times, en-
hance staff and student awareness
and training and justify requests for
increased funding from university
leadership. This session will serve as a
basic overview of the Homeland Secu-
rity Exercise and Evaluation Program
(HSEEP). Learn how to make your
exercise program HSEEP-compliant
with some simple planning steps and
the benefits of utilizing this national
standard. Attendees will be intro-
duced to the resources available
through the HSEEP Toolkit and how to
adapt these tools to your campus’
needs. (026) - Presented by All Clear
Emergency Management Group
Great Escape on Campus
Stay low because heat and smoke
rise, stop, drop and roll, keep fresh
batteries in the smoke detector, and
feel doors for heat. These adages of
fire safety are easy to take for
granted. That is until you are in a resi-
dence hall corridor filled with smoke,
relying on the walls for balance and
direction. You extend an arm and re-
alize your hand has disappeared. Dis-
orientation sets in as a thick haze
swirls in the hallway and a blaring
smoke alarm makes it difficult to
think. You get low and it is still nearly
impossible to see. Exit signs are invisi-
ble so you cannot find a door, let
alone feel if it is warm. You are wan-
dering blindly in search of an escape
route and the smoke continues to
thicken. Yet there is little sense of
urgency among these students--only a
smattering of giggles and a string of
comments about the potency of the
enveloping shroud of fog. This has
been the experience for over 15,000
(+) college students over the last 10
years. Randall Hormann developed
this highly effective educational tool
geared for first year students. We can
take a building (residence hall, frater-
nity house, etc..) student call home
and disorient them in a matter of min-
utes while maintaining safety and
control of the training session. Fires
and fire-related deaths involving col-
lege and university students
prompted the need to develop a
training program that would educate
the students while making it fun and
exciting. (037) - Presented by Cam-
pusFireSafety.com
Campus Fire Safety - Round Table/
Town Hall Forum (this is a 2 hour -
double session workshop)
What are colleges and universities
doing with their fire safety manage-
ment plans? We will hear from differ-
ent institutions on what is being done
to successfully protect their cam-
puses. Topics such as fire drills – ef-
fect?, mandatory fire safety training
for all students, mandatory fire safety
training for RA’s and unannounced
fire drills. YOU set the agenda. (030)

sity of Utah and the Center For Cam-

Campus Pandemic Health Emergency
- Pandemic Flu
Now that the H1N1 Influenza has
reached pandemic levels, has your
organization developed and revised
measures to protect your business
throughout the course of this public
health concern? At "Implementing
Pandemic Planning in the University
Environment" you will get a behind
the scenes look at the process and
resources developed by the Division
of Residential and Food Services Pan-
demic Planning Committee at Michi-
gan State University. This program will
share a historical perspective of pan-
demic flu as well as lessons learned
throughout the implementation of
pandemic related business continuity
plans. (022) - Presented by Michigan
State University
Cyber Stalking
According to the National Institute of
Justice, unsolicited email is one of the
most common forms of harassment,
including hate, obscene, or threaten-
ing mail. As with stalking in the physi-
cal world, email stalking can result
from an attempt to initiate a relation-
ship, repair a relationship, or threaten
and traumatize a person. While email
stalking may be comparable to tradi-
tional stalking in some instances, it is
not restricted to this format. Stalkers
can more comprehensively use the
Internet in order to slander and en-
danger their victims. The stalker can
assume control of the victim's com-
puter and the only defensive option
for the victim is to disconnect and
relinquish their current Internet
"address". The situation is like discov-
ering that anytime you pick up the
phone, a stalker is on-line and in con-
trol of your phone. Being knowledge-
able about educating students about
cyber stalking is extremely important
on college campuses, especially since
a college community is so close knit.
Students rely on computers to assist
them in everyday work for school, as
well as for social purposes. (020) -

NFPA 72 - National Fire Alarm Code -
an Overview of Inspection, Testing,
and Maintenance
NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code,
outlines acceptable test methods to
be used when testing the fire alarm
system, equipment associated with
the fire alarm system and accessory
equipment. Your fire alarm system
will only operate properly if it is main-
tained noting that impairments/
problems will not be obvious without
testing. NFPA 72 is referenced by
most fire codes throughout the coun-
try including the International Fire
Code. (008) - Presented by Hughes
Associates
The Three "E's" of Fire Prevention
Identifying the appropriate avenue, or
avenues, to the fire or life safety
problem through identifying the risk,
audience, behavior and contributing
factors. Once the proper course of
action is determined we will discuss
the different approaches and engi-
neering fixes that are currently avail-
able. Some of these include a brief
discussion on developing a workable
fire and life safety plan, some simple
instructional techniques for behav-
ioral change and examples of engi-
neering fixes that are effective,
affordable, and currently available on
the market. We will also leave a brief
period for some specific problem solv-
ing. This class is appropriate for Greek

Fire Sprinkler Education
In Champaign, we have successfully
conquered 2 of the 3 E’s of fire safety
(Engineering and Enforcement) via a
Retrofit Sprinkler Ordinance. In the
past 5 years, we have had complete
systems installed in over 70 “Certified
Housing units” such as fraternities,
sororities and privately owned off-
campus housing units. Once done, it
quickly became apparent that the
average 19 or 20 year old does not
know how to live with a sprinkler
head as their roommate. Our solution
– also known as the 3rd E of fire
safety – is an interactive educational
game called the Sprinkler Bowl. Dur-
ing this presentation, we will share
our ordinance, tell of some of the
experiences we’ve encountered when
students and sprinklers mix and show
one solution to help teach how to live
in a sprinklered building. (029) - Pre-

NFPA 25 - Water Based Fire Protec-
tion - an overview of Inspection,
Testing, and Maintenance
NFPA 25, Inspection, Testing, and
Maintenance of Water-Based Fire
Protection Systems. As its name speci-
fies, the standard consolidates all the
requirements for sprinkler systems
and related systems such as under-
ground piping, fire pumps, storage
tanks, water spray systems and foam
water sprinkler systems. The main
reason for the standard is that inade-
quate maintenance was one of the
contributing factors for system fail-
ures. A large percentage of system
failures were because of something
very simple, such as the inadvertent
closing of a valve for whatever reason
-maybe maintenance, maybe inten-
tionally, or maybe mistakenly. This
standard pays attention to that par-
ticular problem. It requires weekly
and sometimes monthly inspections
of valves to make sure that they open
when they're supposed to be. NFPA
25 is referenced by of most fire codes
throughout the country including the
International Fire Code. (010) - Pre-

Public Access AED's
The purchasing and placement of
"Automatic External Deliberators" is
probably the easiest part of establish-
ing an effective program for public
access to these potentially lifesaving
pieces of equipment. We will discuss
how to develop an AED program. How
much more is needed than just hang-
ing them on the wall, placing them
behind a counter, or at the life guard
stand at the pool. There are concerns
for vandalism and theft, concerns
about misuse of a medical device,
concerns about maintaining the de-
vices ready for use, and, of course,
concern for the type and amount of
training that is needed for students
and staff. (011) - Presented by Lif-
erServers, Inc.
NFPA 720: Standard for the Installa-
tion of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Detection and Warning Equipment
This standard is primarily concerned
with life safety, not with protection of
property. This standard covers the
selection, design, application, installa-
tion, location, performance, inspec-
tion, testing and maintenance of car-
bon monoxide detection and warning
equipment in buildings and struc-
tures. This standard contains require-
ments for the selection, installation,
operation and maintenance of equip-
ment that detects concentrations of
carbon monoxide that could pose a
life safety risk to most occupants in
buildings and structures.
NFPA 10 - Portable Fire Extinguishers
- an Overview of Inspection, Testing,
and Maintenance
What you might want to know about
maintaining and using portable fire
extinguishers. NFPA 10, Portable Fire
Extinguishers, provides minimum re-
quirements for the selection, place-
ment, inspection, and servicing of
portable fire extinguishers. The provi-
sions of this standard apply to the
selection, installation, inspection,
maintenance and testing of portable
extinguishing equipment. 1.1.1 Port-
able fire extinguishers are intended as
a first line of defense to cope with
fires of limited size. 1.1.2 The selec-
tion and installation of extinguishers
is independent of whether the build-
ing is equipped with automatic sprin-
klers, standpipe and hose, or other
fixed protection equipment. NFPA 10
is referenced by of most fire codes
throughout the country including the
International Fire Code. (012) - Pre-

Off Campus Housing Fire Safety
Can we do more to protect students?
Local authorities and academic ad-
ministrators need to rethink their roll
and responsibility for off-campus fire
safety. Officials need to think beyond
passive fire protection and look to-
ward influencing the installation of
fire sprinklers in new student housing
as well as the retrofit of NFPA 13D
compliant fire sprinkler systems in the
existing student housing inven-
tory. This presentation will discuss
why it is time we look beyond our
dependence on smoke alarms
(passive fire protection) to a more
effective smoke alarm fire / sprinkler
system combination approach to pro-
tecting our students from fire in off
campus housing. The life safety bene-
fits of such an approach, ideas as to
how to influence the future of resi-
dential fire protection as well as the
components of the systems will be
presented. (017) - Presented by Na-

Another Approach to Lab Safety
Training
Wittenberg University (in Springfield,
OH) is a small, residential liberal arts
college. We have a very strong em-
phasis on laboratory safety. Most
“pre-lab” sessions include a discussion
some safety topic, usually one that is
relevant to the experiment being per-
formed. Pre-lab readings and on-line
quizzes are assigned that force stu-
dents to come to the pre-lab session
with some nominal understanding of
a particular safety topic. Then, the
pre-lab discussion is often a discus-
sion of various lab scenarios that in-
volve safety issues. When discussing
fire safety and fire extinguishers, we
invite representatives from the
Springfield Fire Department to visit
the pre-lab session to talk about fire
safety on campus. Each student gets
hands-on experience using a carbon
dioxide extinguisher on a small alco-
hol fire. When discussing “emergency
response” we also broaden the dis-
cussion to “what to do” with regard to
a variety of emergencies ranging from
lab fires to tornados to “active shoot-
ers.” The presentation for the con-
ference would be an overview of our
program, including the discussion of
safety issues across the chemistry
curriculum. (28) - Presented by Wit-

Fire Protection/Life Safety Code
Compliance Approaches for Campus
Laboratory Facilities
The volumes of hazardous materials
needed in a campus laboratory facility
vary, depending on the research and
teaching requirements. For example,
some facilities place a greater empha-
sis on chemistry activities, and conse-
quently store and use larger quanti-
ties of materials. From a fire protec-
tion and life safety standpoint, the
model codes contain several design
approaches for the storage and use of
hazardous materials in such facili-
ties. This presentation provides de-
tails of three code compliance ap-
proaches for fire protection and sepa-
ration based on the major applicable
requirements contained in the 2006
International Building Code (IBC),
2006 International Fire Code (IFC) and
NFPA 45, Standard for Fire Protection
in Laboratories Using Chemicals (2004
Edition). The concepts and associated
fire protection and life safety features
contained in control areas, NFPA 45
laboratory units, and High Hazard
occupancies will be discussed and
applied to the college and university
laboratory setting. (023) - Presented

UI Fire Factor Academy
The twin Cities of Champaign and Ur-
bana, along with the University of
Illinois, have offered 10 Fire Factor
Academies. The day-long fire acad-
emies are for college student leaders
from various housing units. Each par-
ticipating Residential Advisor or fra-
ternity or sorority officer is then chal-
lenged to go back and help us spread
the fire safety message in their uni-
versity home. To aid them with pres-
entations, we worked closely with a
senior level Graphic Arts Class who
created a comprehensive safety cam-
paign entitled SUBTRACT STUPIDITY –
add smart to the equation. During
this presentation we will show the
campaign and its corresponding web
site. We might just entice you to tap
into the creative minds of your own
students to come up with new safety
messages. (024) - Presented by Cham-

Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing
Systems - Design, Installation, and
Testing
The Montreal Protocol of 1987
created international restrictions on
the production of certain Halon fire
extinguishing agents because of their
effects on the ozone layer. Clean
agents were developed and intro-
duced in response to the ban on Ha-
lon. Clean agents are very effective
fire extinguishing agents and are envi-
ronmentally more acceptable. They
leave no residue, are electrically non-
conductive and are not cold enough
to create thermal stress on the ob-
jects being protected. Clean agents
are used to protect assets as diverse
as computer servers, precious art,
archeological artifacts and many
other objects that can be damaged or
destroyed when they come in contact
with fire sprinkler water. The Univer-
sity of Arizona currently has 14 Halon
and 10 clean agent systems. NFPA
2001 is the Standard on Clean Agent
Fire Extinguishing Systems. This pres-
entation will address the design; in-
stallation and testing of clean agent
systems as required by NFPA
2001. The presentation will also
highlight a few lessons learned. (027)

Assemblies and Atria - Life Safety
Design Challenges on Campuses
Assembly spaces on a college cam-
puses like lecture halls, performing
arts centers, recreation centers or
stadiums are often high-profile cam-
pus buildings used to attract students,
parents, educators and donors. These
high occupancy spaces require special
attention to occupant’s fire and life
safety during design and construction.
In this presentation, we will discuss
several issues commonly encountered
during the design and construction of
these spaces of which campus project
managers and fire safety officers
should be aware. Topics include the
use of the mezzanine concept and the
separated mixed use approach to re-
duce the number of stories and con-
struction type of the building, chal-
lenges with designing an adequate
number of exits with long travel dis-
tances, and fire detection by use of
traditional devices and new technol-
ogy available in the marketplace. The
presentation will also cover common
challenges with atria on college cam-
puses. Specifically, a brief overview of
smoke control system concepts,
tradeoffs associated with fire detec-
tion methods, and the importance of
third party commissioning of a smoke
control system will also be presented.

From FireWise to Fruition: DePaul
University’s Roadmap to a Successful
Campus Fire Safety Program
After Campus FireWise Training in
March 2009, we began the quest to
work together with residents, student
employees and administrators to
make important changes. Our Action
Plan helped us to amend the proce-
dure for the evacuation of residents,
student staff, and staff professionals
from residence halls that are in the
state of alarm. Our new procedure
changed the way we train student
staff members as they are now di-
rected to find the quickest and safest
way out of the building compared
with outdated procedures that re-
quired student staff to perform room
checks and mark stairwell doors with
red tape during evacuation to signify
that a floor was checked and cleared.

2009 Sorority Rush on the Campus of
Purdue University - Greek Rituals and
Programs
Overnight, a sorority house in an off-
campus housing area within our juris-
diction was transferred from a resi-
dential occupancy into a gathering
and dining facility for a rush event.
During this formal gathering, a small
fire occurred that could have been
devastating if it occurred 15 minutes
earlier. The presentation contains
actual photographs taken on-scene by
the fire department. Although the fire
was contained and relatively small,
the presentation shows the extent
that the students will go to conduct
their ritual ceremonies which no re-
gard to fire safety. Over 250 candles
were found to be in use during the
fire and all the emergency exits were
blocked with furniture. This presenta-
tion was critical in the Dean of Stu-
dents office decisions to mandate fire
prevention training for Greek Housing
and pre-rush inspections for the
houses. (025) - Presented by Purdue

Fire Protection/Life Safety Code
Compliance Approaches for Existing
Buildings
This presentation seeks to detail the
major requirements and differences
contained in the model building codes
as applicable to existing build-
ings. Specifically, this presentation
details requirements contained in the
International Existing Building Code
(IEBC), International Building Code
(IBC), and the Life Safety Code and
how those requirements are en-
forced. Requirements that pertain to
existing buildings undergoing ordinary
repairs, renovations, alterations,
change of use and additions are dis-
cussed and a methodology of how to
analyze existing buildings is de-
tailed. In addition, specifics of how to
efficiently analyze existing buildings
such that additional measures beyond
what the code minimally requires are
not implemented are dis-
cussed. Lastly, the presentation seeks
to show attendees how to analyze
existing buildings for accessibility defi-
ciencies and what the various codes
and federal standards require upgrad-
ing based on the level of work under-
taken. (019) - Presented by RJA Rolf

Make the Most of New Annual Exer-
cise Requirements
Under the proposed changes in the
Higher Education Opportunity Act
(HEOA), campuses will have the re-
sponsibility of testing their emergency
response and evacuation procedures
and emergency notification proce-
dures annually beginning in
2010. This session will provide valu-
able lessons learned and best prac-
tices in exercise design, volunteer
