Statewide Tornado Drill

A statewide tornado drill will be conducted on Tuesday, March 11th, at 9:45 AM. Please take this time to ensure you’re familiar with your designated shelter locations, and participate in the drill and follow the actions listed below:

• Review shelter location(s) in your work area (interior room, no windows, away from things that can fall like bookshelves, etc.).
• Tune into NOAA Weather Radio to listen for the broadcast. Make sure your radio is on by 9:40 AM. When you hear the alert, begin your tornado drill at 9:45 AM. If you do not have a NOAA Weather Radio, simply start your drill, and enact your safety plan at 9:45 AM.
• There will be no follow-up statements to mark the end of the statewide tornado drill. It will simply end when you feel that you have adequately practiced your tornado shelter procedures.

Note: If there is actual severe weather occurring on the morning of March 11, 2025, the statewide tornado drill will be postponed.  The alternate date for the drill is Thursday, March 13, 2025, at 9:45 AM EST.
