  2. “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing” Theodore Roosevelt

  3. Objectives • 1. Operate under the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and test Campus Crisis Response Team’s Readiness. • 2. Test capabilities of the Emergency Notification System. • 3. Coordinate executive decision-making given limited information. • 4. Discuss how we will communicate with the campus. • 5. Discuss policies for: • a. Campus evacuation. • Campus status of open, closure, or restricted access • c. Managing the press • d. Handling psychological issues

  4. What is N.I.M.S? • What is the National Incident Management System (NIMS)? NIMS is a national approach to incident management that is applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across functional disciplines. It is intended to: • Be applicable across a full spectrum of potential incidents, hazards, and impacts, regardless of size, location or complexity. • Improve coordination and cooperation between public and private entities in a variety of incident management activities. • Provide a common standard for overall incident management.

  5. The Incident • On December 1, at 9:05AM, the Lake County 911 Dispatch Center receives several calls that shots were heard in Potter building, possibly around room 104. • Additionally, the Purdue Dispatch Center (PUWL) receives a call also stating that shots had been fired in the Potter Building.

  6. Potter Building

  7. 9:05 a.m.: Unidentified caller to Lake County 911 dispatch: “Help us! Come quick…someone has a gun and is shooting people!” The sound of what appears to be a gunshot is heard in the background....call disconnected. 9:07 a.m.: Caller to Purdue Lafayette dispatch: “My name is Tim....some guy has a gun in Potter and is shooting people. Please send help!” 9:08 a.m.: Several Fire Alarms inside Potter, are activated w/noise in background—sounds like screaming.

  8. 9:09 a.m.: Several callers to 911 state they have seen several people that are wounded and bleeding. The location of shots fired appears to be only the 1st floor of Potter. 9:11 a.m.: Students are running amok... one was struck by another student’s car trying to leave the lot. 9:11am Purdue Calumet Police Arrive on scene and confirm that there are several students wounded, and many are panic stricken. An individual approaches the officers and claims the shooter is still in the building.

  9. Social Media (Twitter) posts saying students are being shot and/or held hostage on campus. • Numerous radio call from Police units wanting to know: • “Where are the shooters—how many units are here?” • PUC reporting multiple active fire alarms to Lake County E911 Dispatch • Purdue Calumet Police confirm by radio that the gunman is barricaded in a women’s restroom with several hostages. • The Hammond Police Department is notifying their SWAT Team. Negotiators from HPD are also in route to the Scene.

  10. At 10:15am, the Purdue Police Radio dispatch announces that the shooter has been contacted and is communicating with police. As of 10:17am There are at least 9 confirmed dead—(believed to be mostly students): A significant amount of wounded are arriving at local hospitals HFD Station on 169th Street has received injured students and is requesting them to be transported to the hospital. Media vehicles are arriving at multiple locations; worried parents are arriving & calling. Faculty are asking for information/guidelines.

  11. Questions? • Are non -PUCPD Emergency Responders aware of Annex, CLO, Potter buildings? How will they know where to respond? • Where will Emergency responders stage their vehicles? • Where will we evacuate the students and faculty to?

  12. As of 11:15 There are at least 6 confirmed dead—(believed to be mostly students): HFD Station on 169th Street has received injured students and is requesting them to be transported to the hospital. Media vehicles will be arriving at multiple locations; worried parents will be arriving and calling. Faculty are asking for information/guidelines.

  13. The entire campus is in a panic. Students, and faculty are trying to leave by car. The parking lots are jammed with traffic. Emergency responders are experiencing difficulty responding due to gridlock. City of Hammond Officials have been attempting to contact the campus…but unable to make contact due to cell-tower overload Students unable to leave are seeking shelter in their cars and neighboring homes.

  14. Update • At 10:27 am Purdue and Lake County dispatch has advised that the suspect has been neutralized. Police must search for additional shooters and explosive devices. A criminal investigation will begin.

  15. What buildings areas will we use to shelter students with minor wounds? Those that are traumatized? • Where will we send students for accountability and can we find a building where we can re-unite students with family? • Our Campus Internet server (Powers) is down. How will we communicate?

  16. Who will notify our neighbors? Will we assist injured students at the hospitals? Who will make the notifications at family of students that were killed.? Wounded? Do we call faith based organizations?

  17. Public Information • What information will be given out? What should be kept confidential? • During a multi-agency incident who will represent each agency in a news conference? media updates? • How do we balance the public’s right to know and the media releases necessary to managing the incident? • How do we anticipate media’s need for specific types onf information?

  18. More Public Info. • If the media wants to interview a “Ranking Campus Official”, Who do we put on the firing line? How do you prepare them? • How often will you provide situation updates? • What messages should the University be starting to prepare: To faculty, students, parents, general community? • Does the face of the campus spokesperson change as we move toward the end of the first 24 hours?

  19. What will we use as a temporary classroom building with Powers out of service indefinitely? Will we close the other buildings on campus? For how long? Can we use internet based classes? Students that are recuperating? What are our strategies and priorities for returning the campus to normal operations? When will we reopen?
