County board administrative secretary JoAnne Marlin secured an Illinois Public Risk Fund Grant for $7,600. Safety committee chairman Rick Aylesworth said that the funds will be used to upgrade the fire alarm system at the Logan County Safety Complex.

The Logan County Emergency Management Agency has had two monthly meetings, and several more are planned to develop an eight-year, integrated, multi-agency training plan. The hospital, health department, fire and law enforcement departments, Community Action, Red Cross, and anyone with community resources that might be used in an emergency or anyone responsible for the protection of a large congregation of people, such as at schools and prisons, have been meeting and sharing their emergency operation needs and plans.

The measure meets compliance with new state or federal mandates. Three full-scale and seven tabletop exercises are on the calendar, EMA director Dan Fulscher said.
