WINS-Warning Information Notification System. The St. Clair County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, in conjunction with county and local agencies, and selected private entities, has launched a new mass notification service that allows us to alert you. WINS is a notification system that will allow Public Authorities to notify you in the case of an emergency situation such as Tornado, Sever Weather, Evacuations or other emergency situations that effect life and safety. In addition to Emergency Notices you can “opt-in” to receive information on non-emergency situations from a variety of entities, including Ira Township and many other St. Clair County municipalities, law enforcement, fire departments, health departments, schools, and select private/non-profit entities with a need to quickly disseminate information to the public. Because the information will be targeted to your specific area, it is recommended that you sign up for every location that is important to you. Examples of locations could be: Home, Work, Schools, Family Members Homes, etc.  To sign up go to www.bereadystclaircounty.org


St. Clair County Animal Control Changes Dog Licensing.        Effective January 1, 2019 sale of St. Clair County dog licenses will be through the county.

Also new this year, the licenses will expire at the time of the rabies vaccination expiration rather than having all licenses in the county expire on the same day. For more information, contact Director Amy Warner or staff at 810.984.3155 or check their Website St. Clair County Animal Control.
