[Che-student-staff-list] Purdue Alert system test today

[Nagy, Gabriela]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to remind you that  Purdue will test the Purdue Alert layered system of notification, including sirens, today, January 25, at 10 am. This is the semi-annual test of the Purdue emergency warning notification system, that includes campus-wide emailing, text messaging, Twitter, information posted to the Campus Status page, All Hazards Outdoor Siren activation, Alertus beacons installed in large classrooms, desktop popup alerts on most classroom and lab computers, more than 200 digital signs, and Boiler TV emergency alert system activation.

Although no action is required when the alert system is activated today, I wanted to remind you of our shelter-in-place procedures in case of a weather related emergency:

-          Calmly move to the basement of either the new or the old wing of the building.

-          Use one of the staircases: in the FRNY atrium, adjacent to the exit that faces Physics, adjacent to the exit facing Civil Engineering or adjacent to the exit facing the Engineering Mall.

-          Do not use the elevators.

-          Take your personal belongings with you, if possible.

-          Assist those who need help, if possible.

-          Stay in the shelter location until instructed by emergency personnel that it is safe to leave.
Please follow the signs (see below) posted in the building to find the shortest way to the shelter-in-place location.

No action is required today when the Purdue's warning systems will be activated at approximately 10:00 am, but please take a few minutes to review the above shelter-in-place procedures.

Thank you,
Gabriela
On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee
