Emergency Information
In the event of an major emergency or disaster, the Morongo Unified School District and each school has a response plan designed to ensure the safety and security of all students and employees.
Students will be evacuated to a safe location at the school. School personnel will remain with students until they are released to parents or transported home. If necessary, students may be moved to another school temporarily.
Parents need to be aware of the following:
  • Information regarding changes to the
    normal operation of schools will be broadcast
    over local radio stations. Parents are urged to
    listen to the radio rather than telephoning
    individual schools, which puts an added burden
    on school personnel as well as overloading
    telephone lines.
  • In the event of a major disaster such as
    an earthquake or serious flooding, bus
    transportation will be canceled. Students will be
    held at schools.
  • Students will be released only to people
    named on the blue emergency card, or the
    special disaster card used at some schools.
    Parents need to be sure that more than one
    adult is authorized to pick up their children. A
    high school sibling may be one of the authorized
    persons, if the parent wishes.
  • In order to maintain security, each
    school has designated a location for "reunion"
    of parents and students. Be sure you know the
    procedures for checking out a student during
    an emergency. School personnel must keep
    track of the location of all students and to whom
    they are released; parents can help in this effort
    by following procedures.
