Communications

Direct Response to Emergency Situations

  1. Radio communications are established between all sites of the WDMCS and the West Des Moines/Clive/Windsor Heights Police and Fire Departments.
  2. School/Community Relations personnel will notify each district site of a change in the Homeland Security Alert System when it changes to Orange or Red.
  3. School/Community Relations personnel will communicate information and procedures to the public in the event of an emergency situation involving a district site. Things that may be communicated include:
  • Emergency situation information
  • Dismissal procedures
  • Family unification procedures

If school must be canceled or dismissed early due to weather conditions or other emergencies, an announcement will be made. See Cancellations/Delays for details and procedures.
