Did you know about Illinois' new legislation?

Across the country, more stringent requirements for disaster management in educational settings is becomming the law of the land.  For example, in Illinois, the Campus Security Enhancement Act of 2008 (Public Act 95-0881, formerly SB-2691) became law on January 1, 2009.  The act requires public institutions in Illinois to implement a National Incident Management Systems (NIMS)-compliant "all hazard" planning--including business continuity--providing for data access and continued operations across a wide range of potential disasters.
