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 known as EM-52 and a heavy equipment unit called EM-55. In addition to these, they also have a minivan designated as the shift commander's vehicle, labeled EM-50. There are also several support vehicles and trailers: a cargo equipment 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 cars, labeled EM-01 and EM-02 respectively, both of which were originally McHenry County Sheriff’s Department squad cars.
EM-50, T-1, T-2, and P-1 were all specifically purchased for MCEMA use. EM-52 was previously 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 that's 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 just off the government campus in Woodstock.
The MCEMA operates on multiple radio systems, including VHF frequencies such as 155.0250 (KTB234) and 146.8350 (Amateur Radio, K9ESV), as well as the McHenry County Starcom system, which runs on a trunked 800 MHz network. The team includes around 50 volunteers, along with the director, assistant director, emergency planner, and executive secretary, who are all salaried staff members.
