Homeland Security

The chiefs association, in cooperation with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, will do everything we can to keep everyone aprised of current issues regarding Homeland Security.  This will include the relay of Threat Conditions once they have been issued by the Department of Homeland Security.   Any e-mails received will be forwarded through the group e-mail to everyone with current e-mails listed.  Please take the time to read each message concerning the status.  While you may receive multiple messages, these messages may contain different information about the current status level.
