Campuses Continue to Invest in Emergency Notification Systems and Upgrades

Now, virtually two out of three K-12 districts (64%) and institutions of higher education (65%) are paying for their emergency notification systems with funds from their general campus budgets. Only 53% of the systems were funded that way overall in 2010, compared with 59% today. Hospitals pay for their systems in a multitude of ways in addition to general campus budgets (33%), including grants (29%), department budgets (22%), IT (20%), facilities (19%) and emergency management (22%).
