To Host Campus School Safety &
Emergency Preparedness Conference, February 25-26
In New York City there are 594,000 students enrolled in over 105
Colleges and Universities. In NY and NJ there are over 270
Colleges and Universities, which in conjunction with Puerto Rico
and Virgin Islands make up FEMA Region II.
Campus Safety has become a critical issue, not only for
individual colleges and universities but for our National Security
posture. The conference will have representatives from the
City, State and Federal levels and serve as an informative and
educational opportunity for university professionals and emergency
response professionals. Personnel from area high schools can also
benefit from participation and would be very welcome to attend.
The conference will be held on February 25-26,
2008, at St. John’s University’s Taffner Field House on the Queens
Campus (8000 Utopia Parkway, Queens, NY).
