Beginning in the spring of 2011, Adviser Alert Radios (AARs) were sent out to eligible addresses within Madison County by the Madison County EMA/CSEPP Program. These radios replaced the original Tone Alert Radios (TARs) distributed in Madison County in the mid-1990s. The AARs have a longer battery life, text display, AM/FM radio capabilities, and additional user-friendly features. This upgrade also extended the coverage area within the county. Previously, TARs were distributed to a 6.2 mile radius from the chemical limited area at the Blue Grass Army Depot. Now, AARs are distributed to a 9.2 mile radius as well as to residents within the city limits of Berea. Madison County EMA/CSEPP recommends residents outside this area purchase a weather radio at a local retailer. All “special population facilities” received an AAR, no matter what their location in the county. Special population facilities include schools, daycares, long-term care facilities and hospitals.
Sirens are designed as an outdoor warning system. They alert people who are outside that an emergency has occurred or is imminent. The purpose is to move persons into a shelter, and have them tune to Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio stations for more information.
Madison County is divided into 13 zones. The zones are used to designate relocation routes and also send out targeted alerts to the public via the Adviser Alert Radios (AAR). Below you view a static image of the zone and the evacuation routes. You can also see a description of each zone.
