  2. Purpose • Purdue ALERT Beacon & Desktop Popup Alert (Purdue ALERT notification layers) are activated due to a safety threat on campus.

  3. Beacon Operation • The beacon will: • Be activated when an incident occurs on or near the Purdue WL campus that may impact one’s safety. • Alarm for 10 seconds (cannot be muted) • Flash for approximately 5 minutes • Provide incident information (Info available for 5 minutes before it resets)

  4. Desktop Popup Alert Operation • The Popup Alert will: • Be activated when an incident occurs on or near the Purdue WL campus that may impact one’s safety. • “Take over” a Purdue logged in computer and display an alert message (most classroom & some lab computers). • By clicking the “enter” key, one can acknowledge receipt (PC) or dismiss (MAC) and return to the normal screen.

  5. Actions • Immediately evaluate your situational awareness. • What is occurring on campus? • Am I in the threat area? • What actions should I take for my safety or those I’m responsible for? • Do I need to notify others of the incident? • Class, co-workers, others?

  6. Actions (cont.) • Implement actions based on the incident. Considerations: • Continue seeking additional information. • Avoid the incident area. • If you “see something, say something.” • Call 911 for all emergencies. • Suspend class where appropriate or cancel class (based on incident’s location and type). • Consider the following actions based on situational awareness: • Get out (evacuate). • Hide in a safe, securable area (shelter)…lock or secure your doors, if possible. • Take action (fight back)…only as an absolute last resort.

  7. Fire Alarm Evacuation • If a fire alarm is activated, immediately: • Suspend class. • Evacuate the building. • Proceed outdoors, and away from the building. Do not use the elevator
