The resulting report highlights the need for real time communication systems in appropriate occupancies. // NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, has a chapter dedicated to emergency communication systems. This contains the detailed information on the risk analysis and emergency action plan as required in the above proposed sections. // This is NOT intended to require a mass notification system. There are many elements contained within a mass notification system. The process of the risk analysis will outline what is needed based on risk and engineering study for the occupancy. It will be the responsibility of the occupancy to react to the risk assessment. // A task group has been appointed to further review the location of the proposed material in Ch. 9. The committee requests the Correlating Committee review this action in conjunction with any related actions by the TC on Fundamentals and the occupancy chapter committees to ensure the provisions are appropriately coordinated. The committee also requests the Correlating Committee review the scope of the TC on Building Service and Fire Protection Equipment to recommend any needed changes to accommodate the addition of the proposed language.
