Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)

An Automated External Defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. MJIS has two AED devices.

AED#1 is located on the first floor of MJIS, outside of Room 1083 in the south corridor. Contact Person:  Susan Hardy (765-496-2476) or Bill Schoenlein (765-494-1366).

AED #2 is located on the second floor of MJIS, in the sitting area outside of Room 2001 in the south corridor. Contact Person:  Susan Hardy (765-496-2476) or Bill Schoenlein (765-494-1366).

For any questions about AEDs, please contact Lt. John Guerra with Purdue Fire at 765-494-0958.

 

Response to Alarms

Remember, when you hear

-  ALL HAZARDS OUTDOOR WARNING 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…Purdue Homepage, TV, radio, email, etc.

 

Emergency Evacuation Procedures

General Evacuation Procedures - If you hear the fire alarm or are instructed to leave the building:

  • You must immediately obey evacuation alarms and orders. Tell others to evacuate.
  • No one may remain inside a building when an evacuation is in progress.
  • Classes in session must cease and immediately evacuate the building.
  • If involved with hazardous research or doing a dangerous procedure, immediately shut down operations that could create additional hazards if left unattended. Evacuate as soon as possible.
  • When you evacuate, take keys, coat, purse and any other critical personal items with you. REMEMBER, IN CASE OF A FIRE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT DELAY EVACUATION.
  • Close doors as rooms are vacated.
  • Assist those who need help, but do not put yourself at risk attempting to rescue trapped or injured victims.
  • Note location of trapped and injured victims and notify emergency responders.
  • Walk calmly but quickly to the nearest emergency exit.
  • Use stairways only. Do not use elevators.
  • Keep to the right side of corridors and stairwells as you exit.
  • Do not reenter the building until authorized fire or police department personnel give the "All Clear" instruction.

Building Specific Evacuation Procedures

  • In case of fire, evacuate the building preferably via the EAST doorways (towards So. Russell St.) if they are free of hazards. DO NOT use the West doorways as a primary exit as those will be the doors accessed by emergency responders and fire personnel. 

 

Detailed Emergency Shelter in Place Procedures

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, active threat (such as a shooting), release of hazardous materials in the outside air, or a civil disturbance. 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.

Types:  You may be required to Shelter In Place for events such as:

  • Tornado warning or other severe weather events.
  •  Hazardous materials release.
  •  Active threat, building intruder, or civil disturbance.
  •  As directed by police personnel for any other situation that requires you to find protection within a building.

 

When to Shelter in Place: You must immediately seek shelter in the nearest facility or building (preferably in a room with no windows) when:

  • You hear the All Hazards Outdoors Emergency Warning Sirens.
  • When directed by police or fire department personnel.

 

General Procedures:  Purdue ALERT, the University’s emergency warning notification system, will be used to notify the Purdue community of a “shelter in place” situation.

If you are “sheltering” due to a tornado warning, immediately go to a safe location in your building.

  • Proceed to the basement of any building that has a basement or sub-walk. Position yourself in the safest portion of the area away from glass.  Be prepared to kneel facing a wall and cover your head.
  • In high-rise (four stories or more) buildings, vacate the top floor and move to a lower floor or to the basement.  Position yourself in an interior corridor away from glass.  Be prepared to kneel facing the wall and cover your head.
  • If time permits, occupants of wood-frame or brick buildings with wood floors should leave the building and go directly to a more substantial concrete building, preferably with a basement.
  • 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, or note the person's location and communicate it to emergency responders.
  • Try and obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means (e.g. Purdue Campus Emergency Status page www.purdue.edu/ea, TV, radio, email, etc.)

 

If you are "sheltering" due to an active threat, building intruder or a civil disturbance on campus, immediately go to a safe location in your building.

  • If possible, take refuge in a room that can be locked.
  • If possible, close and lock the building's or room's door(s). If unable to lock the door secure it by any means possible.
  • Hide under a desk, in a closet, or in the corner.
  • After getting to a safe location and without jeopardizing your safety, try and obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means (e.g. Purdue Emergency Status page www.purdue.edu/ea, TV, radio, email, etc.)
  • Report any suspicious activity if you can do so without jeopardizing your safety. Call or text 911 if possible.

 

If you are “sheltering” due to a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) accidental release of toxic chemicals the air quality may be threatened and sheltering in place keeps you inside an area offering more protection.  For a HAZMAT situation you should, if possible, take the following actions:

  • 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.
  • Try and obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means (e.g. Purdue Emergency Status page www.purdue.edu/ea, TV, radio, email, etc.)

 

Building Specific Shelter in Place Procedures and Locations:

In case of a tornado warning, proceed to the basement hallway via the East stairwell. Do not use the elevators. Seek shelter in basement corridors, basement offices, basement restrooms.

In case of an active threat, building intruder or civil disturbance: Take shelter in any safe location, preferably a room without windows that can be locked or secured by barriers.

In case of a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) release: Safe shelter is any unaffected office or work area. Close windows and doors.

If you are directed to shelter in place, but you are unaware of the specific reason, proceed to the lowest level of the building but continue to seek additional information by all possible means to determine the type of incident. 

 

All-Clear Procedures

Do not re-enter the building until the all-clear announcement is given by a Purdue Police or Fire Officer.

The All Hazards Outdoor Warning Sirens will not be used to send an all clear signal. Seek additional information by all means possible to include Purdue ALERT, Purdue Campus Emergency Status webpage (www.purdue.edu/ea), TV and radio channels.

 

Class suspension or Campus closure

The President of the University, or in her absence, the Executive Vice President for Business and Finance, Treasurer and/or the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost jointly, will make a decision to declare class suspension or campus closure.  Additional information will be forwarded to the campus community by the Marketing and Media Office.
