...TEST TORNADO DRILLS APRIL 11, 2024 AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
The state of Minnesota is conducting test tornado drills April 11 at
1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. The drills are provided jointly by the
Minnesota Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management,
the National Weather Service offices that serve both states, and
numerous counties, cities, and tribal nations. Remember that it is a
test.
You may hear from local systems such as reverse 9-1-1 (if you have
signed up), outdoor warning sirens, NOAA weather radio, TV, or
others. Take the time now to decide where you would take shelter.
Remember to plan for the various places you may be if a real warning
occurs. Also make sure you have at least two ways to get a warning.
Outdoor warning sirens are not enough and may not always activate or
be heard. Get a NOAA Weather Radio. Sign up for warning notices
through your local county or city or phone.
The drills are part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota.
Remember, they are just a test to remind you of what you should do
if there was a real warning. For more information, check out our
website weather.gov, or our social media pages.
