Public Safety is pleased to announce a new program that allows campus occupants to be notified of emergency events and severe weather.

The Department of Environmental Health and Safety, along with the IUPUI Police Department, is implementing a new program to provide emergency radios for departments or individuals on campus wishing to purchase them. These radios broadcast emergency and weather information across the campus and have been tested to ensure operation in all IUPUI buildings. The radios will "sleep" in an operational mode. When a tone generator is activated, all the radios wake up from the sleep mode and send out a double tone. The IUPUI Police Department then relays the emergency message to all the radios simultaneously. Radios are AC powered with a battery backup and come with a one-year warranty.

This system remains operational when telephone and commercial pager systems have failed. The cost of each radio is $75. Voluntary participation in the Fire Protection Services ‘Building Warden’ program may allow a department to receive a radio at no cost. Contact Fire Protection Services at 274-1384 for information on becoming a ‘Building Warden’.
