An “Easy Button” Approach to Emergency Communications
Established in 1851, Florida State University (FSU) is a senior member of twelve units of the State University System of the Florida Board of Governors. FSU’s main campus covers more than 13 million-square-feet and is located in Tallahassee, the capital of the state.
FSU is recognized by the National Weather Service as a “Storm Ready University.” This designation is given to organizations and communities that are better prepared to save lives in the event of severe weather conditions due to their commitment to advanced planning, education and awareness. Because this area of Florida can experience sudden, extreme weather events, including lightning, tornados and hurricanes, FSU has been proactive and is prepared not only for a severe weather, but also other threats. With more than 44,000 students, faculty and staff on campus, the Emergency Management Coordinator and his staff take their responsibilities seriously about warning people about life safety risks.
