REMEMBER, WHEN YOU HEAR:

ALL HAZARDS SIRENS: immediately seek shelter (Shelter-In-Place) in a safe location within closest facility. Listen* (.wav)
FIRE ALARMS: immediately evacuate the building and move to a safe location. Listen* (.wav)

In both cases, you should solicit additional clarifying information by all possible means: Purdue Homepage, TV, radio, email, etc.

*Sound files are examples only. There are different types of fire alarms (bells, horns, voice messaging, etc.) and sounds may vary.
