Possible online services disruption due to Internet related outage

A worldwide technology outage is causing disruption to some State of Illinois online systems.  We are aware of this issue and are diligently working on restoration.

In the ongoing effort to support our local, county, and state partners, IEMA will provide information and specifics to coordinate current information:
 

  • Presidential Disaster Declaration for St. Clair County in Illinois for flooding for 2022
  • Presidential Disaster Declaration for Cook County in Illinois for severe weather in June/July 2023
  • The State of Illinois Disaster Proclamation for the Asylum Seekers in Illinois

EMA, IESMA Sponsor Weather Alert Contest for Severe Weather Preparedness Week

One key to surviving disasters is getting timely warnings. NOAA all-hazards weather alert radios are a good way to receive potentially life-saving notices of approaching severe weather and other hazards 24 hours a day.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the Illinois Emergency Services Management Association (IESMA) are sponsoring a contest to raise awareness of weather alert radios. The contest runs from March 1 – March 31 and is open to all Illinois residents. 

To participate, click on the link below, read the narrative and take a short quiz. Then complete the entry form and click “submit.” A total of 100 NOAA weather alert radios will be awarded.
