We are currently displaced as the EOC room and entire lower level of the court house is being remodeled. We have been told this will take up to 2 years. While this is happening our mobile unit and equipment are at the Hazmat response building near Manawa. Our monthly meeting will be held at various locations throughout Waupaca County while the remodel takes place. Waupaca County ARES/RACES is excited to see the new technology that the remodel will bring into the E.O.C. at the courthouse building. Thank you all for your patience while this takes place.
