RE: Siren “Growl Test set for Thursday, September 29 at 10:00 AM

Purdue University will conduct a "growl test" of the all-hazards outdoor warning siren at Earhart Hall at 10 a.m. on Thursday, September 29.

The test will activate the siren for 1-2 seconds and may be noticeable in the general vicinity of the siren location.  However, the potential for full siren activation is possible. If the siren activates, please disregard, and no action is necessary.

Purdue is in the process of replacing its all-hazards sirens over the next few weeks, and once a siren is replaced a “growl test” is required to ensure its operation capability.

For questions or concerns, please contact the Emergency Preparedness Office at 49-40446.
