Purdue has decided to take some “action”, developing means to notify campus in case of emergency. This basically means nothing new will be done, well, other than the creation of a facebook group. I am not quite sure how a facebook group is going to help me be better informed unless I am addicted to and logged on to facebook 24/7….oh ok…yeah I get it. This is just Purdue thinking they are outside the box, but they are still very much inside the box. Innovation might be to collect cell phone numbers through a web page to send emergency notification emails, or even working with cell phone providers to see how broadcast text messaging might be a form of civil defense preparedness, but we get email, a facebook group and some tornado sirens (note to potential attackers: they’re all in the basement)…ho-hum.
