Healy to participate in University Business Magazine Webinar

MH&A Managing Partner Steven J. Healy to discuss how the current economic crisis is likely to affect campus security in a webinar on September 15, 2009, at 2:00 p.m.  The webinar, “Getting More for Less:  Campus Security Technologies for Day-to-Day Operations and Emergency Preparedness,” will address the issue of enhancing campus safety during the current economic downturn.  Hosted by University Business Magazine and sponsored by ADT, the purpose of this free webinar is to explore ways colleges and universities can strengthen their campus security programs while adhering to the fiscal constraints that many institutions are experiencing. 
In addition to reviewing ways that campuses can leverage technology to provide a holistic security environment, the speakers will discuss low-cost/no-cost solutions for emergency preparedness and critical incident response.
Healy will address emergency planning in light of new federal regulations requiring colleges and universities to disclose information regarding their emergency response and evacuation plans, the how-to of emergency notification, and best practices for assessing and managing individuals who may represent a threat to themselves or others on the campus.  Specifically, Healy will cover the four “campus safety imperatives” for higher education institutions in the new age of campus security awareness.
Healy will be joined by Patrick Fiel, ADT’s Public Safety Advisor who is a former Security Chief for Washington, D.C., public schools and past security advisor to the United States Military Academy, West Point, NY and Nick Samanich, ADT’s Director of Commercial Strategic Products Planning. Mr. Samanich has an extensive background in information technology strategy, product strategy, and business improvement. 

Other topics to be covered during the free webinar include: 
• How to begin an emergency planning effort;
• Understanding who should be involved in the institution’s emergency planning initiatives;
• Information on the latest advances in video surveillance, access control and alert notification; and
• Evaluating security solutions in order to get the most out of technology purchases.
