central Illinois storm spotter frequencies

Where can I find my local frequencies for storm spotters, like ham radio operators
that go out and watch for tornados during storms. I live near Peoria and Pekin Illinois.

I live in Chillicothe. Have had real good luck listening to conventional freq for Peo Co.
Peoria Co> Peo Co Govt> 154.295 186.2 pl (ESDA Operations)
when Peoria Co Net went from ETSB to Starcom21, they failed to published the new TG-ID for Peoria Co ESDA
it is getting that time of year for Tornado here in the midwest. Be safe. Good monitoring

For Tazewell Co, Radio Reference list :
Tazewell Co> Taz Co EMA> 155.07 123.0 pl (Tremont) / 131.8 pl (East Peoria)
and ...........
Tazewell Co> Taz Co EMA> 152.285 88.5 pl ( I-WARN 1 )

Dont listen to Tazewell Co so cannot tell you what you will hear on these freq

Also look up the HAM radio repeaters Many are marked SKYWARN [tho some might not] If you have a HAM License you can ask some of the folks on different repeaters they MIGHT help you
