94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Statewide tornado drill a chance to test emergency preparedness
Local and state officials encourage Kentuckians to test their emergency preparedness during the annual statewide tornado drill, which will be held Wednesday at 10:07 a.m. Eastern (9:07 a.m. Central).
“Just to remind everybody of the actions to take: if there is a tornado in your area, we recommend, if you can, go to a basement,” said Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane. “If not, try to find an interior room with no windows. A lot of times in homes or apartments, there’s a bathroom that’s a good small, enclosed room there, so try to find a room like that.”
That’s Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane.
The drill will be broadcast on NOAA weather radios, local TV and radio stations, and cable overrides. The decision to include outdoor weather sirens in the statewide drill is up to county emergency management agencies.
The statewide tornado drill is an opportunity for schools, businesses, and organizations to test their tornado safety action plans. After the drill, assess the effectiveness of your emergency plan. In the event that inclement weather is in the forecast for Wednesday, the statewide drill will be postponed to a fair-weather day.
The drill takes place during Severe Weather Awareness Week in Kentucky. Wednesday’s theme as part of the week is “Warning Reception,” encouraging Kentuckians to have multiple ways of receiving alerts when severe weather strikes.
Visit the National Weather Service in Louisville’s website for more information on the drill, and visit kyem.ky.gov for severe weather preparedness tips and information.
