County Receives Emergency Generators In an effort to enhance public safety throughout Monroe County, the Emergency Management Agency has received five trailer-mounted generators. The 60 kilowatt generators were obtained through a grant from the St. Louis Area Regional Response System. The equipment will be stored at the Hecker, Maeystown and Valmeyer Fire Departments, and two of the units will be kept at the Monroe County Highway Department in Waterloo. “These units will ensure that shelter locations in the county will be operational regardless of the condition of the power grid, as well as maintaining service to critical facilities and infrastructures in the county,” said Gene Henckler, director of the local EMA office. County board members Dale Haudrich, Terry Liefer and Delbert Wittenauer were on hand at the courthouse earlier this month when the generators arrived atop a semi-tractor trailer. “Electrical power is a critical component in the response to and recovery from any disaster which may threaten the citizens of the county,” Haudrich said. “This equipment will be a tremendous asset in a time of need.”
