WORKING WITH OUTSIDE RESOURCES

Emergencies may warrant the interface, coordination, and use of other agencies at the local, County, State, and Federal level. Agreements are in place between Purdue University emergency responders and all local agencies for police, fire and medical aid. Other businesses may also provide support services; these include but are not limited to Verizon, the records recovery companies and companies that specialize in disaster cleanup. Purdue University can engage directly with these companies for assistance.

The local American Red Cross acts cooperatively with State and local governments and other private relief organizations to provide emergency mass care to persons affected by disasters in peacetime. There is no legal mandate for Red Cross involvement in a State of War Emergency; however, assistance and support will be provided to the Tippecanoe County Emergency Management Agency and others, to the extent possible.
