From the Introduction: "There are over 4,000 two-and four-year public and private institutions of higher education in the United States totaling over 15 million students and several million staff, faculty, and visitors. Each of these institutions has a commitment to ensure the safety and general welfare of those on their campuses and to provide appropriate policies, procedures, and strategies to maintain a safe campus. As with many critical areas on the agendas of administrators, campus safety requires building support and conducting a thorough and systematic process to produce a quality plan to prepare for and manage emergencies on campus."
