Building Emergency Coordinators
A BEC is a pre-identified point of contact designated by a department / college administrator for a department space within a building. BECs provide pertinent building or departmental information to public safety officials in emergencies. BECs also relay information sent by public safety officials through the email communications and recommended trainings to their areas of responsibility.
