Illinois Ice Pack is a public outreach effort to heighten drivers' awareness of critical winter weather safety measures. Eight TV stations covered the press conferences, with additional coverage by a number of newspapers and radio stations.
Information is updated every two hours during storm conditions.
Interstate road condition information in text and map versions are also available on the Department's home page . The brochure discusses winterizing vehicles, the importance of a survival kit and what to include in one, pretrip planning, vehicle operation, and what drivers should do if they become stranded.
