• The Emergency Preparedness and Planning Office oversees the emergency preparedness and planning activities at Purdue University. This office has developed an Integrated Emergency Management Plan (IEMP) as a reference of emergency/disaster information and the basic source of data to accomplish the various types of emergency missions. It is designed to bring the user to the point of knowing what is to be done, and who is to do it. It may include information relative to when and where the response will be effective, and even why it will be done.
   
• If an emergency should occur on campus, your student will be notified using our multi-layered PurdueALERT emergency notification and timely warning system (they will need to opt-in to receive messages).
  • This system includes the following layers: Text Messaging, All-Hazards Outdoor Warning Sirens, Twitter Feed, Digital Signage, Desktop Pop-up and Beacons, plus a website for prolonged campus emergencies or changes in operational status.
  • Layers will be tested each semester to be sure that the Purdue community is prepared for emergencies.  
     
• Each building on campus has a Building Emergency Plan that identifies the “shelter in place” and evacuation locations should an emergency occur. Faculty members are asked to review these locations with their students at the beginning of each semester.
  • For more preparedness tips and tools, go to the Emergency Preparedness and Planning website.
     
• To reach Purdue Public Safety dispatch, your student can push the button on one of the nearly 300 emergency telephone system (ETS) boxes placed throughout campus, or by texting or dialing 911 (calling is preferred).   Your student can engage with our Purdue Police Department by applying to work as a member of the Purdue University Student Security Patrol. In addition to patrolling campus in radio contact with PUPD, PSSP members provide the campus Safewalk service. Call (765) 494-SAFE.
