​Be sure to add your Favorite locations, where you most likely will be during an incident like your homeroom, the gym, or any locations you frequently occupy. This allows you to select your location quickly with the preset favorite locations when an alert is active, so you do not have to click into the map and manually search for your location every time. You can do this by changing it in the “My Account” option. You can set up to a maximum of five favorite locations. Watch Video on Setting Favorite Locations

Open the Windows Start button on the lower left corner of the screen to access your apps. Look for the DIR-S app (grey circle with blue plus sign), then click on it. This will launch the app. It will now run in the background and appear in the icon tray. You should not have to do this step again. DIR-S will automatically run in the background until an alert goes off. If you need to access DIR-S while it is running in the background, then click on the icon in the icon tray.

The first screen you will see asks WHERE ARE YOU? You need to indicate your current location first before being able to access the chat room and other features. Select your present favorite location or select the green map button to manually select your location. Select your status: SAFE or UNSAFE. The safe/unsafe buttons are located in the top right corner on your desktop and at the bottom on your mobile device. Click your status, and you are done responding to the alert. If you have important information you need to chat or if you need to report a missing person, then please indicate in it the Chat tab or the Report tab. ​Watch Video on Responding to DIR-S Alert
