EMRS Weather is a 24/7 application that provides severe weather notifications, alerts, and in-depth forecasts to EMRS and other Cook County agencies and municipalities. Weather conditions impact our ability to respond to emergency incidents safely and effectively. It enhances EMRS capabilities and provides our partners with a critical tool they can use 24/7.
