Statewide Tornado Drill Today
Friday, April 19th, 2013 -- 8:12 AM
-Don't forget that this week is Wisconsin's Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week.As we mentioned in a story last week and earlier this week, one of the highlights of this week is the statewide tornado drill that was rescheduled for today, April 19th starting at 1pm, 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.
