Understanding the New Emergency Notification Provisions of the HEOA

What they are, what to do with them and how to keep them from driving you crazy

In October 2009, the Department of Education finalized the rules to the Higher Education Opportunity Act amendment that Congress passed in 2008. The changes affected many parts of the original act, but significant changes were put in place that impact emergency management and
reporting. Institutions of higher learning must have mass notification plans and provide detailed reports to the Department of Education about campus security and fire safety. There are strict guidelines in place regarding what information must be included in these reports and how the institution should provide access to the reports to current and prospective students and employees.

With all the responsibilities that come with being in charge of safety and emergency management at an institution of higher education, it’s impossible to find time to read intensive, lengthy legislation.
