The Winnebago County Administration and Operations Committee unanimously approved over $100,000 in funding for all tornado sirens.
“I have family members that don’t carry a cell phone. So, I believe these sirens are vital for public safety,” said vice chairman of the Winnebago County Board Public Safety Committee, Aaron Booker.
More than 70 of the sirens are over 20 years old and have technological and environmental issues. Booker said less than half weren’t operational, and crews have fixed some, but not all.
“That’s just unacceptable, and it’s something that has to be fixed, has to be addressed,” explained Booker.
Pecatonica resident Sue Schomber noticed she hadn’t heard the tornado siren near her in July and is now relieved.
“Makes me feel good and safer that they’re going to be up and running in time for next year anyways, for the tornado season,” shared Schomber.
