All Hoosiers should learn the best practices to stay safe, save lives and recover from Indiana’s severe weather.
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana is no stranger to storms. Snow and ice happen each winter, then in the summer, extreme heat can alter outdoor plans. Even though Hoosiers experience this kind of weather often, they cannot get complacent.
That is why Governor Eric J. Holcomb proclaimed March 12-18 Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
Each year, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) collaborates with the National Weather Service during Severe Weather Preparedness Week to remind and educate Hoosiers about seasonal severe weather threats and how to prepare effectively for them.
"This week reminds us that we all have a role in preparing for severe weather, whether we're emergency responders, community leaders or simply concerned citizens," said Emergency Management and Preparedness Director Mary Moran.
All Hoosiers should learn the best practices to stay safe, save lives and recover from Indiana’s severe weather.
IDHS encourages all families, schools and workplaces to make tornado safety plans. You can practice these plans during the statewide tornado drill at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, March 14.
Throughout the week, IDHS will share severe weather safety tips on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Follow IDHS and use the hashtags #SevereWx and #SWPW.
