Did you know there is an app that notifies you when CPR is needed in close proximity to your location? YOU could help save a life! Download the PulsePoint Foundation app today and setup the Westcom Emergency Communications profile on the app. The image below is from a recent CPR incident our team responded too. If you were close, you would have been notified of the need for CPR and you may have been able to start CPR before our teams arrived. This is a great product to help others in need!

Occasionally, the City receives calls related to nuisance wildlife in the community. Did you know the Iowa DNR has a Nuisance Wildlife Control Operations (NWCO) program? NWCO are licensed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources suggests that if you have a nuisance wildlife problem with your home, business or property; contact the NWCO nearest you. NWCO's are a private business, and are not an agent or employee of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources or the City of Windsor Heights.
