Abstract
Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois University …..
Common repeating elements of a campus crisis scenario: Police exclusion zones unexpectedly hamper campus access to support staff, the mobile phone network is jammed, the campus switchboard is jammed, the internet is just crawling and incorrect situational information is being emailed by various uncoordinated groups.
Executive Officers from Australian universities are now looking to their IT departments for robust communications strategies and technical solutions to cope effectively with both small and large campus crises.
