I don't want to be arrogant here, but if your schools are "very"
concerned with the safety of their students, you should look at a real
warning distribution system, the only one I know of is e2campus, but I
am sure there are others. My only reason for bringing this up is that
students have to be in front of their computers and they have to be
USING them for any of these warnings to occur. What happens when
students are in a classroom or when they are in the common areas of
their residence halls?
While something like CCA or a web redirect would work for 90% of the
people on this list (as in we are usually in front of the computer) it
isn't practical for a student body, no matter what they spend most of
their time doing.

Subject: CCA as Part of a Campus Warning System?
Maybe this is more a question for Clean Access developers, but does
anyone know of a way to use CCA as part of a campus security warning
system? I.E. Could CCA be used to send out campus intruder alerts?
Our site is VERY concerned about the recent college shootings. We are
exploring ALL alternatives for quickly communicating security alerts
to
our users.
All our residence halls (and all our wireless users) are required to
use
CCA. If the CCA agent that's already resident on these computer
systems
could be used to display a warning message it could be a VERY useful
tool.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thank you.
