Emergency Notification Policy

DMACC Consumer Information - Emergency Notification Policy Statement

DMACC has a multi-layered emergency notification system in place called DMACC Bear Alert for immediately notifying the campus community upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate or pending threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurring on the campus. Some or all these layers of communication may be activated in the event of an immediate threat to the DMACC Campus Community, depending on the location and type of emergency. Layers include emails, text messages, voice mails and an indoor voice notification system. DMACC will post updates during a critical incident on the DMACC website. Members of the larger community (parents, students and employee family members etc.) who are interested in receiving information about emergencies on campus can also sign up for DMACC Bear Alerts by downloading the InformaCast app.

The DMACC Campus Community is notified on an annual basis that they are expected to notify Securitas, Inc. Campus Security (515-964-6500) of any significant emergency or dangerous situation that may involve an immediate or on-going threat to the health and safety of students and/or employees. The DMACC Incident Response Team is responsible of responding to, and summoning the necessary resources, to mitigate, investigate, and document any significant emergency or dangerous situation. If there is a threat to the campus community, the College will notify the campus community or the appropriate segments of the community affected by the situation.

If the Incident Response Team confirms that there is an emergency or dangerous situation, they will collaborate to determine the content of the message and will communicate the message to the campus community.
