Official Severe Weather Awareness Week Dates for 2021

- Statewide Severe Weather Awareness/Preparedness Weeks are an opportunity to increase awareness and promote
preparedness of severe weather hazards and also to increase the level of response.

- They are scheduled throughout the spring, targeting a time before the spring severe weather "season" typically begins in that state.

- We will conduct a tornado drill during awareness week. A test tornado warning will be issued at a predetermined time (see below).

- Please mark your calendar and plan to participate in the drill for your local area. This is an opportunity to test your communication methods as if it were a real situation. The best time to prepare for severe weather -  is BEFORE it strikes.
