Madison County is StormReady | Alton Daily News

By Doug Jenkins - WBGZ Radio

Madison County has been named "StormReady City" by the National Weather Service. It's a short list of recognized ultra-prepared communities. A Meteorologist with the NWS presented the county with a certificate and a metal road sign to mark the designation earlier this week.
Madison County Emergency Management Agency Director Tony Falconio tells The Big Z program uses a grassroots approach to help communities develop plans to handle all types of severe weather.

To be officially StormReady, a community must: Establish and equip a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center; have several ways to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public; create a system that allows emergency managers to monitor local weather conditions; promote the importance of public readiness through community seminars, safety talks and frequent Code Red drives; and develop a formal hazardous weather plan.

EDWARDSVILLE — Local first responders have formed a committee to look at radio operability issues, according to Madison County Emergency Management Director Tony Falconio.
At the Madison County Board’s Public Safety Committee meeting on Monday, Falconio noted issues range from different communications systems to multiple 911 call centers.
“We’re just in the very preliminary talks,” he said later. “There’s always room for improvement.”
Falconio said they have to develop a new Tactical Interoperability Communications Plan, or TIC-P. The last plan was set up in 2015 and needs to be updated.
