In an emergency evacuation, building occupants shall leave the building at the nearest emergency exit, which may not be the main entrance.

Once out of the building, occupants shall meet at the following Evacuation/Emergency Assembly Area (EAA) locations:

1. Primary Location (should be outside, in an area away from the building):

Parking lot on the southwest side of the building closest to Michigan St. will serve as the primary evacuation/rally location in cases of evacuation emergencies.

2. Secondary Location (should be inside a nearby building in case of inclement weather):

The Sigma Theta Tau building will be used as the secondary evacuation/rally location in case of building evacuation during inclement weather.

Please note: Building occupants may return to the building once they receive an all-clear from on-site emergency personnel.

During a severe weather incident (such as a tornado warning), occupants can take shelter in a safe location, such as an interior room with no windows, ideally in the lower level of the building.

Severe weather shelter-in-place options in this building include, but are not limited to:

First Floor Occupants:
Immediately proceed to the restrooms located in the center of the building or to interior walls adjacent to restroom entry points.

Second Floor Occupants:
Immediately proceed to the Testing Center located in room 238.Do not remain in offices, conference rooms, or any areas facing exterior walls or windows

Building Description

The Student Center is a two-story story,19,000- square-foot facility located at 520 Indiana Avenue, at the corner of Indiana Avenue and West Street. Designed as a student hub for campus the building will serve as a student center focused on providing various student services departments, student study spaces/lounges and a small self-service vending market.

Building Alarms

In addition to building fire alarm systems, many campus buildings have specialized alarms that building occupants may need to be aware of. These could include freezer temperature alarms, HVAC flow alarms and door/access alarms. Also, certain classrooms on campus may have an Alertus Emergency Beacon installed.

These alarms are listed below:

1. Exit door audible alarms

The exit door audible alarm will serve as a notifier for building occupants that a door that is not designated for the primary exiting of the building is open. Doors not designated as the primary exit should only be utilized for emergency purposes. If audible alarms are activated the building designated security personnel will immediately route to the location of the alarm to investigate and remedy the alarm by closing the door.

Building Safety Committee

Appoint the building deputy or designated representative to develop, coordinate and distribute the BEP to building residents.

1. Approve the plan prior to inclusion in the online BEP list on the Office of Emergency Preparedness BEP webpage.
2. Ensure all people in their department are aware of the BEP and its content including exit routes and the location of their Evacuation/Emergency Assembly area (EAA).

1. Prepare, coordinate and distribute the BEP to building occupants.
2. Ensure the BEP is readily available and used during emergency incidents.
3. Review the BEP to ensure information and procedures are current.
4. List all Critical Operations in the BEP for first responder reference and use.
5. Assist in the development of internal emergency notification procedures ensuring building occupants are notified of the emergency.
6. Assist in building evacuation.
7. Report to Emergency Assembly Area (EAA) and provide any incident information to Incident Command, Command 14 (PUFD command vehicle) or the nearest public safety official as soon as possible.
8. Collect and provide essential information to emergency response personnel (e.g. location of the incident, persons in the building, special hazards, etc.).
9. Develop additional building-specific information that makes the BEP more effective (e.g. specific procedures for any assigned individual that requests additional assistance, evacuation maps, emergency assembly area, etc.).
10. Include in the BEP any additional information as directed by the department head or the individual responsible for the building.

It is the responsibility of all members of the Purdue community to ensure a healthy and safe environment. Whereas the BEP is regulated by OSHA and the Indiana Fire Code, all elements within the plan apply to all members of the Purdue community. Building occupants should be familiar with emergency procedures and are expected to take all alarms and alerts seriously.

In the event of an emergency that may require the evacuation of a campus building, the following procedures are recommended:

1. If able to evacuate, please do so at that time. Remember to use the stairs if able. Never use the elevator during a fire alarm.
2. If unable to evacuate, shelter in place in an area with no immediate hazards and call 911. Advise the dispatcher of your location.
3. If you are unable to call 911, advise others around you of your location and have them inform emergency personnel of your location.
4. If you are in immediate danger, move to an area where you can shelter in place (recommended areas would be a room with an outside window or a room with a sprinkler system, if available).
5. If you are in no immediate danger, remain where you are and wait for emergency personnel to arrive.
6. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS during an emergency evacuation unless requested by emergency personnel.
7. You are encouraged to carry a signaling device like a small whistle, flashlight or cell phone to alert emergency personnel of your location.

Note: It is best to have arrangements preplanned for evacuation assistance. Arrangements can be made to reasonably assure that additional assistance is provided to anyone who requires it. Contact the Purdue Fire Department if you have questions or need additional information at 765-494-6919.

1. Always ask someone requiring additional assistance how to help before attempting to provide assistance.
2. Only attempt an emergency evacuation after having emergency assistance training or if the person is in immediate danger and cannot wait for emergency personnel.
3. If you know of someone who needs assistance, notify emergency personnel or call/text 911 immediately.

In the event of an emergency that may require the evacuation of a campus building, the following procedures are recommended:

1. Immediately obey evacuation alarms and orders. Tell others to evacuate.
2. No one may remain inside a building when an evacuation is in progress.
3. Classes in session must cease and immediately evacuate the building.
4. If involved with hazardous research or doing a dangerous procedure, immediately shut down operations that could create additional hazards if left unattended. Evacuate as soon as possible.
5. Take keys, coat, purse and any other critical personal items to the Evacuation/Emergency Assembly Area (EAA). REMEMBER, IN CASE OF A FIRE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT DELAY EVACUATION.
6. Close doors as rooms are vacant.
7. Assist those who need help, but do not put yourself at risk attempting to rescue trapped or injured victims. 8. Note location of trapped and injured victims and notify emergency responders.
8. Walk calmly but quickly to the nearest emergency exit.
9. Use stairways only. Do not use elevators.
10. Keep to the right side of corridors and stairwells as you exit.
11. Remain in EAA until roll is taken and instructions are given.
12. Do not reenter the building until authorized fire or police department personnel give the “All Clear” instruction.

Shelter in place means seeking immediate shelter inside a building or university residence. This course of action may need to be taken during a tornado, active threat, release of hazardous materials in the outside air or a civil disturbance. When you hear the sirens, immediately go inside a building to a safe location and use all means of communication available to find out more details about the emergency. Remain in place until police, fire or other emergency response personnel provide additional guidance or tell you it is safe to leave.Keep to the right side of corridors and stairwells as you exit.

Severe Weather

1. Proceed to the basement of any building that has a basement or sub-walk. Position yourself in the safest portion of the area away from glass. Be prepared to kneel facing a wall and cover your head.
2. In high-rise (four stories or more) buildings, vacate the top floor and move to a lower floor or to the basement. Position yourself in an interior corridor away from glass. Be prepared to kneel facing the wall and cover your head.
3. If time permits, occupants of wood-frame or brick buildings with wood floors should leave the building and go directly to a more substantial concrete building, preferably with a basement.
4. Any occupant who encounters a student or visitor should direct them to take appropriate actions.
5. Any occupant that encounters a physically disabled individual should assist them if possible or note the person’s location and communicate it to emergency responders.
6. Try and obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means (e.g. Campus Emergency Status page, TV, radio, email, etc.)

Active Threat

If an active threat is outside the building, the best option may be to shelter in place:

1. Proceed to a room that can be locked, barricaded or secured. Close and lock all the windows and doors and turn off all the lights.
2. Hide under a desk, in a closet or in the corner. If possible, get everyone down on the floor and ensure that no one is visible from outside the room.
3. One person in the room should call/text 911, advise the dispatcher of what is taking place and inform them of your location.
4. Remain in place until the police, or a campus administrator known to you, gives the all-clear.
5. After getting to a safe location and without jeopardizing your safety, try to obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means, including the Campus Safety Status webpage, text or email.
6. Report any suspicious activity if you can do so without jeopardizing your safety. Call/text 911 if possible.

If an active threat is in the same building:

1. Determine if the room you are in can be locked. If so, follow the same procedures above.
2. If your room cannot be locked, determine if there is a nearby location that can be reached safely and secured, or if you can safely exit the building.
3. If you decide to move from your current location, be sure to follow the instructions outlined below.

If an active threat enters your office or classroom:

1. Try to remain calm.
2. Call/text 911, if possible, and alert police to the location of the threat; if you can’t speak, leave the line open so the dispatcher can listen to what’s taking place.
3. You can make attempts to run, hide or fight:
   • Run and escape the area of threat
   • Hide by seeking cover and/or concealment
   • Fight by overpowering or distracting with force (should be considered a very last resort)
4. If the threat leaves the area, proceed immediately to a safer place and do not touch anything that was in the vicinity of the threat.

Under All Circumstances

1. If you decide to flee during an active threat situation, make sure you have an escape route and plan in mind.
2. Do not carry anything while fleeing; move quickly, keep your hands visible and follow the instructions of any police officers you may encounter.
3. Do not attempt to remove injured people. Leave wounded victims where they are and notify authorities of their location as soon as possible.

Hazardous Materials Release

For spills, releases or incidents requiring special training, procedures or personal protective equipment (PPE) that is beyond the abilities of present personnel, take the following steps:

1. Immediately notify affected personnel and evacuate the spill area. Pull the fire alarm if building evacuation is required.
2. Call 911 to report the incident.
3. Give the operator the following information:
   • Your name, telephone number and location
   • Time and type of incident
   • Name and quantity of the material, if known
   • The extent of injuries or damage, if any
4. If possible, seal off the affective area to prevent further contamination of others until the arrival of emergency personnel.
5. Anyone who is contaminated by the spill should wash off the contamination; remain in the vicinity, and give his/her name to the emergency personnel. If needed, first aid can be started immediately.
6. No effort to contain or clean up spills and or releases should be made unless you have been trained in the proper methods to do so.
7. Take appropriate steps to make sure no one evacuates through the contaminated area.
8. If an alarm sounds, follow established building evacuation procedures (see Evacuation).
9. Incident command will be set up near the emergency site. Please report any information regarding the incident here.
10. Do not re-enter the area until directed by emergency personnel.

If you are directed to shelter in place due to a hazardous material (HAZMAT) accidental release, the air quality may be threatened and sheltering keeps you inside an area offering more protection. If possible, take the following actions:

1. Close all windows and doors.
2. Move to the shelter-in-place location.
   • Select an interior room above ground with the fewest windows or vents.
3. Do not go outside or attempt to drive unless you are specifically instructed to evacuate.
4. Do not use elevators.
5. Share notifications with others. Assist persons with disabilities, if possible.
6. Try and obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means, including text, email or the Campus Emergency Status page.

All-Clear Procedures

1. Do not re-enter the building until the all-clear announcement is made by police or fire personnel.
2. The All-Hazards Outdoor Warning Sirens will not be used to send an all-clear signal. Seek additional information by all means possible, including through PurdueALERT, Campus Emergency Status page, TV and radio channels.
