19. Again the Simple Message…
When you hear:
ALL HAZARDS OUTDOOR SIRENS: immediately seek shelter (Shelter In Place) in a safe location within closest facility
FIRE ALARMS: immediately evacuate the building and move to a safe location
 In both cases, you should seek additional clarifying information by all possible means--Text, Campus Status Page, TV, radio, , etc. 19

20. Shelter in Place…
“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, an active threat such as a shooting, or a release of major hazardous materials in the outside air.
When you hear the sirens immediately go inside a building to a safe location and use all communication means available to 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.” 20

21. Shelter—Tornado Warning
Outdoor warning sirens will activate.
Approximately 3 minutes.
Text message, Twitter, Desktop Popup Alert, BTV EAS, Digital Signs & Alert Beacon activation will be sent.
Normally will not receive an .
Immediately go to a safe location in your building.
Lowest level, away from doors and windows.
Should be specified in your Building Emergency Plan.

22. Shelter—Active Threat
Outdoor warning sirens will activate.
Approximately 3 minutes.
Normally, all other Purdue ALERT layers will be activated…
Response depends on…

23. Run…
If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to escape the premises. Be sure to:
Have an escape route and plan in mind
Escape regardless of whether others agree to follow
Leave your belongings behind
Help others escape, if possible
Prevent individuals from entering an area where the active shooter may be
Keep your hands visible
Follow the instructions of any police officers
Do not attempt to move wounded people
Call 911 when you are safe

24. Hide…
If escape is not possible, find a place to hide where the active threat is less likely to find you.
Your hiding place should:
Be out of the active threat’s view
Provide protection if shots are fired in your direction (i.e., an office with a closed and locked door)
Not trap you or restrict your options for movement
To prevent an active threat, such as a shooter from entering your hiding place:
Lock the door if safely possible
Blockade the door with heavy furniture

25. Hide… (cont) If the active threat is nearby:
Lock the door
Turn off the lights
Close the blinds
Silence your cell phone and/or pager
Turn off any source of noise (i.e., radios, televisions)
Hide behind large items (i.e., cabinets, desks)
Remain quiet
If escaping and hiding out are not possible:
Remain calm
Dial 911, if possible, to alert police to the active threat’s location
If you cannot speak, leave the line open and allow the dispatcher to listen

26. Fight…
As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active threat by:
Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her
Throwing items and improvising weapons
Yelling
Committing to your actions

27. Shelter—HAZMAT
Accidental release of toxic chemicals the air quality may be threatened and sheltering in place keeps you inside an area offering more protection.
Selected layers of Purdue ALERT will normally be used.
Try and obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means. (e.g. Campus Status Page, TV, radio,, text, , etc.)

28. Shelter—HAZMAT (cont)
Close all windows and doors.
Move to the shelter in place location.
Do not go outside or attempt to drive unless you are specifically instructed to evacuate.
Do not use elevators as they may pump air into or out of the building.
Any occupant who encounters a student or visitor should direct them to take appropriate actions.
Any occupant that encounters a physically disabled individual should assist them if possible.

29. Evacuation If you hear an alarm inside…get out
Many different sounding alarms…all mean to get out

30. Evacuation
Purdue policy requires immediate evacuation when any fire alarm sounds within a building. All faculty, staff, students and any other individuals within the building must promptly evacuate the building using the nearest designated exit routes.
General procedures located in the Emergency Procedures Guide.
Building specific procedures should be added to the Building Emergency Plan.
