FR: Campus Emergency Preparedness and Planning Office DA: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 RE: All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Siren Test - Monday, August 15 at 3:30 p.m. Purdue University will test its All Hazards Outdoor Emergency Warning Sirens on August 15 during the Boiler Gold Rush (BGR) orientation for new students. Purdue's five All Hazards Sirens will be tested at approximately 3:30 p.m. Monday afternoon. 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.
