Public Information Statement

...Public Information Statement...

The NWS Indiana offices in conjunction with IDHS have decided to
cancel the planned test tornado drill on Wednesday, March 18th,
2020. This is due to numerous reasons related to the COVID-19
virus and sheltering actions being taken by the public. We do not
want to add an extra layer of anxiety to the ongoing situation.
While we feel it is important to test our communications and
safety action plans, we feel it more prudent right now to focus on
the active societal response to the virus. We apologize for the
inconvenience but hope you understand. There are no plans for a
makeup date at this time.
