EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES are based on a simple concept if you hear a fire alarm inside, proceed outside. If you hear a siren outside, proceed inside. Indoor Fire Alarms mean to stop class or research and immediately evacuate the building. Proceed to your Emergency Assembly Area away from building doors. Remain outside until police, fire, or other emergency response personnel provide additional guidance or tell you it is safe to leave. All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Sirens mean to immediately seek shelter (Shelter in Place) in a safe location within the closest building. Shelter in place means seeking immediate shelter inside a building or University residence. This course of action may need to be taken during a tornado, a civil disturbance including a shooting or release of hazardous materials in the outside air. Once safely inside, find out more details about the emergency*. Remain in place until police, fire, or other emergency response personnel provide additional guidance or tell you it is safe to leave. *http://www.purdue.edu/emergency_preparedness/warning_system.htm EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES: Review the Emergency Procedures Guidelines https://www.purdue.edu/emergency_preparedness/flipchart/index.html
