Purdue has replaced all of its all-hazards outdoor warning sirens and has added two new ones on campus. A test of the system will be conducted between 1-4:00 p.m. on Friday, October 21. The university has sirens at the following locations:

*         Earhart Residence Hall

*         Hawkins Hall

*         Heine Pharmacy Building

*         Purdue Village

*         Hilltop Apartments

*         Grand Prix Race Track

*         Physical Facilities Service Building

Friday's test is to ensure the sirens are operable and will include a 30-second activation of sirens that will be noticeable on campus. However, the potential for a full three-minute siren activation is possible. Siren system checkout and verification may require multiple tests during the time frame.



If there is inclement weather, the test will be cancelled. Please disregard any siren activation during this time period; no action is necessary.

If you have any questions, please contact the Emergency Preparedness Office at 49-40446.
