Campus Fire Forum History:

Campus Fire Forum is the only national conference that focuses exclusively on campus fire safety issues
and continues to offer you the opportunity to learn from the experts and interact with campus fire safety
professionals from across the country. Hundreds of attendees representing colleges, universities,
fire officials, city and state authorities and many other disciplines will be in attendance.

This the official Campus Fire Forum, presented by The Center for Campus Fire Safety (CCFS), the nation’s only
non-profit organization devoted to reducing the loss of life from fire at our nation’s campuses. Beginning over
11 years ago, as an “invitation only” event, the Campus Fire Forum has steadily grown in popularity and is now now the nation’s premiere conference focusing specifically on fire safety in the campus community.

Higher Education Opportunity Act:

An Overview of Campus Safety Requirements

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) lays out campus safety requirements for colleges and universities in a number of critical areas, including fire safety and emergency response and evacuation. While the law was enacted in August 2008, the deadlines for some key reporting requirements are now approaching. By October 1, 2010, institutions must include in their Annual Security Report a statement of policy regarding emergency response and evacuation procedures. Institutions that maintain on campus student housing must also publish an Annual Fire Safety Report that includes fire statistics and describes fire safety policies, practices and systems.

This free webinar will provide an overview of campus safety requirements in the Higher Education Opportunity Act and explore compliance efforts and practices.
