Severe Weather Preparedness Week: Statewide tornado drill

As we all know, Mother Nature can be unpredictable, and when it comes to tornadoes, there’s no joking around. That’s why Severe Weather Preparedness Week is upon us, and it’s time to make sure we’re all ready for whatever might come our way. One important part of this week is the statewide tornado drill that will be taking place. Here’s what you need to know.

The drill will be happening across the state, and it’s a chance for everyone to practice what they would do if a tornado were to hit. It’s especially important for schools and businesses to participate, as they need to have a plan in place to keep everyone safe. During the drill, participants will go through the motions of what they would do if a real tornado were approaching. This includes finding a safe place to take cover and staying there until the danger has passed.

In addition to the drill, there are several other things that you can do to prepare for severe weather. Make sure you have a weather radio or other reliable source of information, have an emergency kit with supplies like water and first aid supplies, and know the signs of a tornado so that you can act quickly.

Severe weather is a serious threat, and being prepared could mean the difference between life and death. So take the time to participate in the statewide tornado drill, and take the necessary steps to make sure you and your family are ready for whatever might come your way. Stay safe out there!
