摘要：
This study investigates the impact of the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings on college emergency procedures of US college campuses. College administrators and security officers from a cross-sectional representative sample of 161 US colleges participated in an online survey in 2008-2009 academic year. Whereas a majority of college campuses reported having appropriate emergency procedures in place, only 25 per cent (n=40) of the surveyed campuses agreed that students understood the emergency procedures of their campuses. Another 25 per cent (n=41) of the campuses reported that if a dangerous crisis situation occurred, the entirety of students and employees would likely be notified within 5 min. Data indicate that a substantial number of colleges across the nation do not realize the importance of emergency drills and do not engage in campus-wide practice of them on a regular basis.
