9. Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)
An Automated External Defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.
If your department has purchased an AED please specify location (s) here:

10. Emergency Procedures
Purdue’s Emergency Procedures Guide should be periodically reviewed to supplement the BEP information and develop an individual plan of action for emergencies. It can be found on the Emergency Preparedness website:

11. Evacuation Procedures
Immediately obey evacuation alarms and orders. Tell others to evacuate.
No one may remain inside a building when an evacuation is in progress.
Classes in session must evacuate.
If involved with hazardous research or doing a dangerous procedure, immediately shut down operations that could create additional hazards if left unattended. Evacuate as soon as possible.
When you evacuate, take keys, coat, purse and any other critical personal items with you to the EAA. REMEMBER, IN CASE OF A FIRE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOT DELAY EVACUATION.
Close doors as rooms are vacated.
Assist those who need help, but do not put yourself at risk attempting to rescue trapped or injured victims.

12. Evacuation Procedures (cont)
Note location of trapped and injured victims and notify emergency responders.
Walk calmly but quickly to the nearest emergency exit.
Use stairways only. Do not use elevators.
Keep to the right side of corridors and stairwells as you exit.
Proceed directly to your designated EAA. Stay away from the immediate area near the building you evacuated.
Remain in EAA until roll is taken and instructions are given.
Do not reenter the building until authorized fire or police department personnel give the “All Clear” instruction.

13. 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

14. Emergency Assembly Area (EAA)
Primary location (should be outside, in an area away from the building): Describe the EAA location and your accounting procedures here.
 Secondary location (should be inside a nearby building in case of inclement weather): Describe the EAA location and your accounting procedures here.

15. Shelter In Place Procedures
Types:
Tornado warning or other severe weather events.
Hazardous materials release.
Active shooter, building intruder, or civil disturbance.
As directed by police personnel for any other situation that requires you to find protection within a building.
When to shelter
When you hear the All Hazards Outdoor Sirens
When directed by police/fire personnel
Specify where to shelter in your building

16. Shelter In Place Procedures (cont)
What to do:
Proceed to the nearest building and find a safe location (reference BEP or Emergency Procedures Guide for specific guidance). See below table for basic guidance:
After getting to a safe location and without jeopardizing your safety, try and obtain additional clarifying information by all possible means possible (e.g. Purdue Homepage, TV, radio, , etc.)
EMERGENCY
EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY AREA (EAA)—SHELTER IN PLACE
Weather-Related—Tornado Warning
Basement corridors, basement offices, basement restrooms
Or the lowest level of the building (stay away from 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.

17. Shelter In Place Location (s)
Specify where to shelter in your building

18. All-Clear Procedures
Do not re-enter the building until the all-clear announcement is given by a Purdue Police or Fire Officer. 
The All Hazards Outdoor Warning Sirens will not be used to send an all clear signal. Seek additional information by all means possible to include TV and radio channels.

19. Evacuation Guidelines for People Requesting Additional Assistance
Check on people with additional needs during an evacuation. A “buddy system,” where people with additional needs arrange for volunteers (co-workers) to alert and assist them in an emergency is recommended.
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.
Always ask someone requiring additional assistance 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.
Faculty and staff who have mobility impairments should let the building deputy or designated building representative know the location of their usual work area and additional needs.
An individual that requires additional assistance may fill out the “Voluntary Registry for Persons Requesting Additional Assistance” form located in Appendix C. Purdue Fire Department personnel will assist the individual in developing a personalized response plan for possible emergency incidents. Once all information has been entered on the form it should be hand carried to the Purdue Fire Department or sent by campus mail/U.S. Postal Service.
