NCSA Creates Mass Notification / Emergency Communication Symposium
The National Systems Contractors Association (NCSA), based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has launched and will host its inaugural Mass Notification & Emergency Communications (MNEC) Symposium at Northern Virginia Community College’s Anandale, Va., campus, on November 14.
NCSA created the symposium based on renewed public interest in the need to communicate effectively and efficiently in times of emergency, spurred mainly by changes to NFPA 72 and other standards that establish new requirements for emergency communications systems intelligibility.
