FR: Campus Emergency Preparedness and Planning Office DA: Monday, August 15, 2011 RE: All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Siren Test - Today, Monday, August 15 at 3:30 p.m. This is a reminder that Purdue University will test its All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Sirens today at approximately 3:30 p.m. during the Boiler Gold Rush (BGR) orientation for new students. If there is inclement weather, the test will be cancelled. This is only a test and no action is necessary. There are three objectives to the test: Verify that each siren works; ensure the students know what the sirens sound like; and ensure students know what to do when the sirens are activated. BGR student leaders will provide this training immediately after the sirens are off. Please contact the Emergency Preparedness Office at 494-0446 if you have questions.
