the U.S. Department of Education published an Action Guide for Emergency
Management at Institutions of Higher Education (U.S. Department of Education,
2009). In 2006, the Virginia State Crime Commission issued a prescient “Final
Report: Study on Campus Safety (HJR 122)” regarding Virginia’s colleges and
universities (Virginia State Crime Commission, 2006). Gray (2009) provided
results from a “Columbine 10-Year Anniversary Survey”, which reviewed recent
campus safety improvements of 435 K-12 and university respondents. From the
three documents, prescribed campus safety activities were identified that could
be consistently found in the stated programs and policies on university
websites. Of these activities, 18 separate criteria upon which a university’s
online emergency preparedness/ safety/security messages could be evaluated
through content analysis were conceptualized (coding: 1= school has criterion,
0= does not), to estimate the quality of the overall preparedness message of
each institution in the small sample (n = 99) of universities, representing all
50 states in 2010.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

efficiency of Urban Search and Rescue operations depends on the supply of
appropriate equipment and resources, and an efficient damage assessment
facilitates deployment of these resources. This paper presents an Information
Technology (IT) supported system for on-site data collection to communicate
structural condition, track search and rescue status, and request and allocate
appropriate resources. The system provides a unified interface for efficient
gathering, storing, and sharing of building assessment information.
Visualization and access of such information enable rescuers to respond to the
disaster more efficiently with better situational awareness. The IT system also
provides an interface for electronic resource requests to a geospatial resource
repository service that enables a spatial disaster management environment for
resource allocation. Request and deployment of critical resources through this
system enables lifesaving efforts, with the appropriate equipment, operator, and
materials, to become more efficient and effective. System development at the
Illinois Fire Service Institute has shown promising
results.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri"><FONT face=Calibri><FONT size=3>In complex
emergency/disaster scenarios, persons from teams from various emergency-response
organizations collaborate to achieve a common goal. In these scenarios, the use
of smart mobile devices and applications can improve the collaboration
dynamically. The lack of basic interaction principles can be dangerous, as it
could increase the level of disaster or can make the efforts ineffective. This
paper examines the main results of the project WORKPAD finished in December
2009. WORKPAD worked on a two-level architecture to support rescue operators
during emergency management. The use of a user-centered design methodology
during the entire development cycle has guaranteed that the architecture and
resulting system meet end-user requirements. The feasibility of its use in real
emergencies is also proven by a demonstration showcased with real operators. The
paper includes qualitative and quantitative results and presents guidelines that
can be useful in developing emergency-management
systems.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>

a global scale during crises. Basic cloud computing functionality is covered to
show how social networks can connect seamlessly to work together with profound
interoperability. Lastly, the benefits of a cloud computing solution is
presented as the most cost-effective, efficient, and secure method of
communication during a disaster response, with the unique capability of being
