Monday, April 15th, 2013 -- 7:41 AM
-Clark County Emergency Management, Wisconsin Emergency Management, ReadyWisconsin and the National Weather Service have teamed up for 'Wisconsin's' Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week April 15-19.As we mentioned in a story last week, one of the highlights of this week is the statewide tornado drill planned on Thursday, April 18th which Central Wisconsin Broadcasting will be a part of.
In addition to tornadoes, Wisconsin is also susceptible to the hazards associated with severe thunderstorms such as high winds, flooding, lightning, and large hail.
Clark County Emergency Management strongly encourages everyone to participate in the drill and take the necessary steps to prepare for emergencies and weather hazards not only at home but also at school and places of employment. Have a Disaster plan as well as preparing Disaster Supply Kits for home and your vehicle.
Information regarding preparedness can be found at websites such as ready.gov and other such as the ReadyWisconsin website, American Red Cross website and Clark County Emergency Management website.
