Adams County Emergency Management Agency

The second annual Tri-State Severe Weather and Preparedness Conference will be held Saturday, April 9 from 8 am to 4:30 pm at the Kroc Center in Quincy and there is a chance you could win your own storm shelter.

The 29th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade is in the books. Many thanks to everyone for being in the parade and coming down to watch it as we finally “Ushered in Spring”. With over 100 entries, this year’s parade was the biggest ever, surpassing the previous record of 94 entries.

The weekly test of the sirens in the City of Quincy has been cancelled for today.

John Simon, director of Adams County Emergency Management Agency, is looking for volunteers to help with storm spotting. When severe weather threatens the county, the agency deploys volunteer storm spotters to coordinated locations to provide essential feedback to the county’s emergency operation center (EOC). This information facilitates early warning to the public.

The Adams County Emergency Management Agency will be conducting a severe weather exercise today as they test the emergency operation center's storm spotters activation and communications protocols. This is an opportunity to test and refresh skills before the severe weather season impacts our area.
