Disaster Preparedness

The Village of Winthrop Harbor is committed to promoting safety education so that you and your family are well-prepared for any emergency or disaster situation. For this reason, we offer various safety tips and information about how to best be prepared for unexpected emergency situations. Additionally, the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and the City of Waukegan Dispatch Center also are in charge of the community's warning siren system to give you advance warning in case of a tornado or other potential disaster situation.
