In coordination with our cross-sector life safety partners, including several organizations and senior officials across Illinois and Wisconsin, Titan Security is currently monitoring demonstration activity in or near the Chicago Loop and Milwaukee area in response of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs Wade.

Law enforcement and emergency management leaders anticipate large-scale protests may take place as a result. While potentially disruptive, these events are anticipated to be largely peaceful. There is a much higher concern for actions by violent lone actors – references were made to previous clinic bombings and potential vehicle rammings.

As information surrounding any demonstrations related to the Supreme Court’s decision becomes available, it will be posted on the Titan News and Resources hub.

Friday, June 24 (tentative) at 5:30pm: 230 S Dearborn (Federal Plaza), Group will gather for their cause “Emergency Response to Supreme Court Decision” **

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued an Excessive Heat Warning due to the rising temperatures expected through Wednesday evening for the Chicagoland area. 

The Advisory is in effect for all of Northern Illinois June 14 through 8pm Wednesday June 15. Heat index values between 106 and 110 degrees are expected during this time.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. Drink plenty of fluids, stay out of the sun when possible, and know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.

From Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications

Residents should feel empowered to contact 3-1-1 if they are feeling uncomfortable or in need of assistance. It’s also important to check on relatives, neighbors, seniors and our vulnerable populations when temperatures climb to extreme levels. If you are unable to make contact, you can request a wellbeing check by downloading the CHI311 app, visiting 311.chicago.gov, or calling 3-1-1. If there is a medical emergency due to a heat related illness, call 9-1-1. 

The City of Chicago’s cooling areas located at the City’s six community service centers will be activated on Tuesday and Wednesday. The cooling areas operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays–Fridays. Visitors are required to wear a face covering while in the cooling areas. DFSS will provide free face coverings for guests who do not have one and want to utilize the cooling areas.  

During hours of operation, residents can also find relief in one of the City’s more than 75 Chicago Public Library locations and more than 31 Chicago Park District fieldhouses as well as 176 splash pads.  

Heat-related Illness 

Heat exhaustion is a milder form of heat-related illness that can develop after several days of exposure to high temperatures and inadequate or unbalanced replacement of fluids. Heatstroke is more serious and occurs when the body starts to lose its ability to regulate itself. The telltale signs of heatstroke are: 

If you see someone suffering from heatstroke, call 9-1-1 immediately and then try to move the person into a cool place and cool the person with water.

Coordinating with our cross-sector partners in public safety, Titan Security is sharing a new mask advisory posted by the Milwaukee Health Department in response to increased transmission of COVID-19 in the Milwaukee County area.

From the City of Milwaukee:

The disease burden in the City of Milwaukee this week increased to 270.9 new positive COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people over seven days and remains in the “extreme transmission” category. The percentage of positive COVID-19 test results is 13.3% and moved into the “extreme transmission” category. Additionally, based on U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, Milwaukee County moved into the High COVID-19 Community Level.

Currently, 64.6% of city of Milwaukee adults 16 years and older are fully vaccinated, and 48.6 % of fully vaccinated individuals have received a booster dose. Of children ages 5 to 11, 20% have completed their pediatric COVID-19 vaccine series and 24.3% have received at least one dose.

The Milwaukee Health Department issued a mask advisory today, in response to the increase in CDC COVID-19 Community Level. In accordance with the CDC’s recommendations, all individuals two years and older, regardless of vaccination status or past COVID-19 infection, should wear a mask at all times when indoors and in a public setting. Higher-quality masks, such as KN95 masks and N95 respirators, are recommended for an additional layer of protection.

Following the authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration earlier this week, the CDC approved a recommendation for children ages 5 to 11 to receive a booster dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, at least five months after completing the primary series. Pending the final step of the approval process by the CDC, the Milwaukee Health Department anticipates administration of these booster doses will begin early next week.
