(KLZA)-- Severe Weather Awareness Week will be March 27-31, 2023 with a statewide drill scheduled for Wednesday, March 29th.
The National Weather Service will be conducting a Test Tornado Drill on Wednesday, March 29th,
Everyone is encouraged to take time to review and practice your severe weather plan for your home or office.
If you don’t have a plan, this is a great time to consider developing one and sharing it with others. Preparing an emergency kit with basic supplies such as food, water, blankets and a flashlight can save precious time when reacting to an actual event. By working together to ensure we are ready for disaster, we can better prepare our families, friends, and communities for these times.
Tornadoes reported across Nebraska in 2022 were down greatly from the 30-year average of 49. Only 26 tornadoes occurred in the state last year. April had the most tornadoes with 10, with June coming in second with 9.
The mock tornado drill will commence at 10 a.m. on Wednesday when a tornado watch will be issued. Following the “watch advisory” a tornado warning will be issued as part of the drill a few minutes later.
