Daniel J. Durbin, EMT-B, KC9STX shared some detailed information about the McHenry County Emergency Management Agency (MCEMA):
The MCEMA has a dedicated communications unit (EM-52) and a heavy equipment unit (EM-55). They also maintain a minivan (EM-50), which serves as the shift commander’s vehicle, along with a cargo trailer (T-1), a sheltering trailer (T-2), and a power generator/light unit (P-1). The director and assistant director each have their own vehicles (EM-01 and EM-02), both of which are former McHenry County Sheriff’s Department squad cars. The minivan and trailers were specifically purchased for MCEMA use.
EM-52 was originally a Snap-On delivery truck before being used by the Hebron Rescue Squad as a heavy rescue vehicle. EM-55 is a state-owned vehicle assigned to MCEMA. The main office is located at 2200 N. Seminary Avenue in Woodstock, where EM-50, EM-55, EM-01, and EM-02 are based. EM-52 is stationed in Hebron, while the trailers are stored in a barn near the government campus in Woodstock, which is part of the McHenry County Government Center.
MCEMA operates on multiple radio systems, including VHF frequencies: 155.0250 (KTB234) and 146.8350 (Amateur Radio) (K9ESV), as well as the McHenry County Starcom trunked 800 MHz system. The team consists of around 50 volunteers, plus the director, assistant director, emergency planner, and executive secretary, who are all salaried staff.
