NFPA 72-2010 Mass Notification Highlights
Goal is to give incident-specific guidance tothose in danger as to the best course of actionon an area-by-area basis:
FireNatural disasters, weatherShootersTerrorist events
NBCNuclear, biological, chemical
BNICE+Incendiary and explosive
CBRNEAll of the above

Annex D: (optional) Speech IntelligibilityTesting Methodology
Emphasis on making sure emergencyannouncements are loud enough and clearenough to be understood in a given areasacoustic environment
Allows mass notification system to overridefire alarm visual and audible signals
