2. My research project (ERG App) To develop a proof of concept Emergency Response Guide (ERG) smartphone application (app) that will provide an alternative way for people to access campus emergency information ◦ ERG is currently on paper ◦ Many people in the U.S. own smartphones

3. What is an ERG An Emergency Response Guide for public distribution Contains basic procedures and contact information for a variety of campus emergencies including: ◦ Natural disasters ◦ Hazardous material incidents ◦ Medical emergencies and major accidents

4. Smartphone App Benefits Portability Many people have smartphones Internal storage Automatic updates Automatic dialing

5. Smartphone App Concerns Not everyone has a device Electricity Privacy and information security Different type of development involved

6. Smartphone Application May be applicable for other emergency management printed materials Designs should consider resiliency, privacy and security concerns May add redundancy and portability when distributed with the paper version ERG
