Building Reliable Emergency Communications Across Campus (Partnership with Kings II Emergency Communications)

Reliable emergency communications depend on more than the emergency phone itself. Communication infrastructure, system oversight, testing, and long-term planning all play a role in supporting emergency response across campus environments.

As communication technologies continue to evolve and traditional phone lines are retired, higher education institutions are evaluating how to maintain reliability, support compliance, and prepare for future communication needs. This session explores the key considerations facilities teams should evaluate to strengthen emergency communication readiness across their campuses. 

Key topics include:

• What's changing in campus emergency communications
• Evaluating emergency communication systems
• Testing, system oversight, and long-term planning
•  A practical framework for improving emergency communication readiness
