Statewide Tornado Drill Today

The National Weather Service wants you to be aware of the potential for severe weather again this spring. The NWS and Illinois Emergency Management Agency will be conducting a statewide tornado drill today (Tuesday), and you will likely hear tornado sirens and emergency alerts if you are listening to the radio, watching TV, or subscribe to a text-message alert system.

 

WeatherSpotter Training Coordinator John Nell says the more advance warning you have when the weather turns severe, the more prepared you can be, so this is a great time to either create or assess your plan when severe weather strikes.

 

 

Nell reminds there are a number of different ways to receive weather warnings, including through a weather radio, notifications on your smart phone, and local radio station. Tuesday's drill is slated for 10am.
