Communicating a Campus Emergency Notifications, Challenges and Lessons Learned!

Moderated by Dr. Brit Katz , Vice President and Dean of Students, Millsaps College

Recent events and increased attention have made emergency notification a critical component of campus preparedness. Creating your campus system is easier than creating the policies and protocols associated with actually using an emergency notification system.

Panelists will address: types of systems are available; when, by whom, and under which authority alerts should be sent; follow-up after a notification is sent; dealing with erroneous messages and “canned” messages; and increasing campus participation and response. Time will be dedicated for your questions.

Panel:

• Dr. Brit Katz (Moderator), Vice President and Dean of Students, Millsaps College
  
• Mr. Andy Altizer, Director of Emergency Preparedness, Georgia Institute of Technology
  
• Major Jay Gruber, Assistant Chief of Police/Assistant Director of Public Safety, University of Maryland
  
• Mr. Steve Harris, Director of Security and Emergency Preparedness, University of Georgia
  
• Dr. Dawn Watkins, Dean of Student Affairs, Washington and Lee University
