Overview

• BEP Basic Information• Building Contact Information• Building Critical Operations• Notification Procedures

– Emergency and Non Emergencies– Purdue ALERT…University’s Emergency Warning Notification System

• Emergency Procedures• Evacuation Procedures

– Building Specific– Emergency Assembly Area– Guidelines for People with Disabilities, as applicable

Your Building Emergency Plan (BEP)

• Designed to provide students, faculty, staff, and visitors information about:

– Shelter in place and Evacuation procedures for natural & human-caused incidents

REMEMBER, WHEN YOU HEAR:

ALL HAZARDS SIRENS immediately seek shelter (Shelter-In-Place) in a safe location within closest facility

FIRE ALARMS immediately evacuate the building and move to a safe location

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


Your Building Emergency Plan (cont)

• As a building occupant, you need to be familiar with your specific building emergency plan. Read it carefully. If you have any questions, consult your Building Deputy, Department Safety Coordinator or Safety Committee representative.

• Be familiar with the Purdue Emergency Procedures Handbook attached to your BEP,

but is also located at:http://www.purdue.edu/physicalfacilities/fireprotection/docs/safety_handbook.pdf


Your Building Emergency Plan (cont)

• Know the following:

– Purdue ALERT…University’s Emergency Warning Notification System

– Evacuation routes, exit points, and where to report for roll call after evacuating

– When and how to evacuate the building

– Safe locations to shelter in place

– Locations of emergency materials that may be needed in an emergency such as emergency telephones and fire pull alarms

– Procedures for notifying emergency responders…dial 911 for any emergency

– Additional building specific procedures and requirements

• Your BEP is available at (location where building occupants can obtain/view their specific BEP)


Building Contact Information

• List specific building information to include:– Building Name: WTHR & BRWN– Building Deputy: Ned Gangwer– Email: [email protected]– Address: 560 Oval Dr., West Lafayette 47907– Telephone #: 494-5211– Alternate Building Deputy: Linda Swihart– Email: [email protected]– Telephone #: 494-7063

• Purdue home page

• University Residences personnel notified.

• University News Service

• Facebook Purdue Emergency Page

• The Boiler Television Emergency Notification System


Emergency Procedures

• Purdue’s Emergency Procedures Handbook should be periodically reviewed to ensure one understands general emergency response procedures

• It should be attached to your BEP

• It is also available electronically at:http://www.purdue.edu/physicalfacilities/fireprotection/

docs/safety_handbook.pdf


Evacuation Procedures

• If you hear the fire alarm or you are told to leave the building:

– Evacuate Immediately upon notification

– No one can be required to remain; classes must evacuate

– Shutdown hazardous operations as quickly as possible

– Notify others on your way out

– Close doors as you leave

– Help those needing assistance

– Use stairways only…do not use elevators

– Report to Emergency Assembly Areas for accountability and follow-up instructions

– Do not re-enter the building until authorized by police/fire department personnel


Building Specific Evacuation Procedures

• Include your building specific evacuation procedures

• Evacuation procedures must take into account any specific building and occupant needs.

• Add maps, exit routes, other steps, actions, or precautions specific to your building or work area on this slide

Evacuation Guidelines for people requiring

additional assistance• a. General Policy (reference Appendix 1, Emergency Procedures Handbook for specific

information that may be useful in developing your specific policy/procedures for your building). At this time there are no specific policy/procedures other than those in the Emergency Procedures Handbook, which are given here:

• b. Check on people with special needs during an evacuation. A “buddy system”, where people with disabilities arrange for volunteers (co-workers) to alert and assist them in an emergency is recommended.

• c. Only attempt an emergency evacuation if you have had emergency assistance training or the person is in immediate danger and cannot wait for emergency services personnel.

• d. Always ask someone with a disability how you can help before attempting any emergency evacuation assistance. Ask how he or she can best be assisted or moved, and whether there are any special considerations or items that need to come with the person.

• e. Any staff and faculty who are mobility impaired or have any other special need and wish to be identified in the names/locations table here, contact any one of the people responsible for this Building Emergency Plan.


Shelter In Place Procedures

• Types:– Tornado Warning or other severe weather event– HAZMAT Situation– Active Shooter, Building Intruder, Civil Disturbance

• When to shelter– When you hear the All Hazards Sirens– When directed by police/fire personnel

• Specify where to shelter in your building


Shelter In Place Procedures (cont)

• What to do:

– Proceed to the nearest building and find a safe location (reference BEP or Emergency Handbook for specific guidance)

– After getting to a safe location and without jeopardizing your safety, try and obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means (e.g. Purdue Homepage, TV, radio, email, etc.)



EMERGENCY EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY AREA (EAA)—SHELTER IN PLACE

Weather-Related—Tornado Warning Basement corridors, basement offices, basement restroomsOr the lowest level of the building (stay awayfrom windows and doors)

Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Release Remain or find an unaffected office or work area and close windows and doors.

Civil Disturbance—active shooter Seek a safe location, preferable a room without windows that can be locked or secured by barriers.

If you are directed to shelter in place, but you are unaware of the specific reason, proceed to the lowest level of the building but continue to seek additional information by all possible means to determine the type of incident. Once you have determined the type of emergency, follow the below chart:



• Surviving an Active Shooter

• “Shots Fired On Campus:” 20 minute video

https://www.purdue.edu/securepurdue/police/video

• STAY CALM

• Assess the situation

• Get out—take nothing with you

• Hide out—lockable room, hide behind objects

• Get Silent –turn off cell, radio, etc

• Turn out lights

• Spread out

• Take cover
