The National Weather Service has designated March 21-25 as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa. A statewide tornado drill is planned for Wednesday, March 23 at 10:00 a.m. NOAA weather radios will be activated using test wording; outdoor sirens may be used in some communities for the drill.
Contact your county’s Emergency Management Agency to confirm plans for your community. This is a good opportunity to take advantage of these drills to test your Emergency Preparedness action and shelter plans. If severe weather threatens on Wednesday, the drill will be delayed until Thursday.
