<br />HOWARD MAXON - REGARDING DRAFT FOR WARNING SYSTEM: Howard Maxon,
<br />Emergency Management Director, presented the board members with a
<br />draft for the warning systems in Hall County. Hall County has 38
<br />sirens at this time. In past years the Federal government would
<br />fund additional sirens at 50% but this funding is no longer
<br />available and with new technology the sirens may be out-dated.
<br />After the 1980 tornado Hall County's sirens were brought up to
<br />date. Maxon informed the board that new televisions may have a
<br />chip that will alert you of warnings. He prepared this draft
<br />with the intention of receiving direction from the board. The
<br />currant sirens could be maintained but he would like to also
<br />encourage new technology. Weather alert radios are available at
<br />a cost of $29.00, there are also new radios that will sound
<br />alerts for Hall County only. Hartman felt the radios needed to
<br />be more affordable and the currant system should be retained.
<br />Landis stated she appreciates the currant system. Quandt also
<br />stated the currant system is important to the community.
<br />Lancaster stated it is important to educate the people and make
<br />them responsible.
<br />
