A statewide tornado drill is scheduled for Tuesday.
INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric Holcomb has proclaimed March 10-16 as Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) collaborates with the National Weather Service during Severe Weather Preparedness Week to educate Hoosiers about the possibility of severe weather and remind them that they are their own first line of defense when protecting their families and communities.
IDHS encourages all families, schools, and workplaces to make tornado safety plans. Those plans can be practiced during the statewide tornado drill at 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday, March 12.
"We experience severe weather frequently, but we cannot overlook how we prepare for these storms. Check in with your family members, make sure they know what to do and when to do it if a storm approaches," said IDHS Emergency Management and Preparedness Director Mary Moran.
