The Brown County Emergency Services and Emergency Management were on scene today for Ag Safety Days at the Brown County Elementary School.

We loved seeing the kids’ faces light up as they learned about emergency vehicles, equipment, and safety. Thank you to everyone who helped make the day fun, educational, and memorable for our students.

If you own an inflatable life jacket make sure you know what style you have...

If you own an inflatable life jacket, do you know if it is a manual- or automatic-inflate style? Make sure you know before you get out on the water and might have to depend on it to save your life.

Did you know Illinois is leading the nation in tornadoes this year?

When severe weather hits, cell service can fail. A weather radio is one of the most reliable ways to receive emergency warnings, even when everything else isn’t working.

Join us this weekend for our Weather Radio Sales Event at Mt. Sterling Foods:

Friday, May 1 | 5–7 PM
Saturday, May 2 | 9 AM–Noon

We’ll be there to help you get set up, answer questions, and make sure your radio is programmed and ready to go.

Wrapping up an incredible week at the IESMA Summit!

Day 3 brought it all together — resilience, partnerships, and professionalism. Three themes that define this work and the people who show up to do it every day.

None of us can do this work in a silo — and this week was a powerful reminder of why those relationships we build matter so much.

Both Brown County EMA and Public Health Emergency Response left with new connections, new ideas, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Grateful for the opportunity to be in the room, to learn alongside some of the best in the state, and to bring that knowledge back home to Brown County.
