| Emergency Building Evacuation Procedures
In the event of an emergency that may require the evacuation of a campus building,
the following procedure is recommended.
- Telephone 911 and advise the police dispatcher of your location. The
use of 911 routinely identifies the location of the caller. Even if the caller
is unable to speak, the police (who already will be aware of the building
emergency) will automatically surmise that the caller is in trouble and will
respond accordingly.
- If you are in no immediate danger, remain where you are and wait for
emergency personnel to arrive.
- If you are in immediate danger or wish to leave, go to the closest enclosed
exit stairway. Unlike municipalities, Purdue police and firefighters
are familiar with our buildings and alarm systems.
You also are encouraged to carry a sounding device, such as a whistle, to
alert emergency personnel of your location.
