Hard work pays off - we
are experiencing "Safer Campuses Todays"
Unfortunately over the years, we have experienced and suffered a
number of fire tragedies involving college students both on and off
campus.
Many of these injuries and deaths could have been prevented.
We ask you to help
empower those around you to adopt fire-safety habits and education
for students, parents, campus administrators, those who regulate on
campus housing and those who rent to students off campus.
Because of your hardwork and dedication to fire safety, over the last decade
(plus) there has been a significant downward trend to campus
related fires, injuries and fire fatalities since its highest in 2006-2007
with 20 on-campus deaths.
Off-campus housing is still a great concern and serious risk for
students.

Emergency Management (EM)
and the All Hazards Approach
With
the recent statistics show a significant downward trend to fire and
related incidents on campus, we have re-focused our efforts to include an "All Hazard" approach;
expanding our focus to include emergency preparedness, emergency
management, and general safety.
Our organizational mission is to provide
the resources and expertise necessary to prepare for, respond to,
recover from, and prevent the loss of life and/or property from
unexpected emergencies.
Campus EM Ready! - We are working to help develop, build and
implement EM programs on campus.
Every Student Goes Home
As you start winding up this academic school year many students
are preparing to move "off campus" and seek housing arrangements for
the next step in their lives. We want to turn our focus and efforts
on creating an environment free from the dangers of fire, and fire
related injuries & fatalities to our nations future.
One of the goals all educational institutions have across the world
is that at the end of the school year - Every Student Goes Home! Our
goal is a combined effort for unified safety on and off campus
through education and an educational dialog between students,
parents, campus administrators, housing officials (both on and off
campus) and the local fire department.
Join us in the efforts to create a unified nationally accepted plan
for protecting our students. If you have an interest in volunteering
and supporting our efforts as part of our technical team, we are
currently recruiting subject matter experts and corporate
sponsorship to develop this national campaign and to work on our off
campus fire death taskforce. Please e-mail Randy Hormann (info

bio and or resume.
