HEADS UP: Tornado siren and alert drill scheduled for 9:50 AM as part of statewide drill
Ohio residents may hear tornado sirens or receive a tornado notification Wednesday morning at 9:50 a.m. as part of a statewide tornado drill being conducted during Spring Severe Weather Awareness week.
“Ohio’s weather can often be unpredictable, especially in the spring when temperatures fluctuate between warm and cold which can be a recipe for severe weather, or even tornadoes,” said Ohio Emergency Management Agency Executive Director Sima Merick. “We encourage all Ohioans to make or review an existing emergency plan and be prepared.”
Students in grades 1 through 6 can submit a severe weather poster design until April 21 for the 2023 Ohio Severe Weather Poster Contest. To learn more, and to view the complete contest rules and entry forms, visit the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness website. Prepare for Severe Weather and Home Emergencies: Build a kit and make a plan. This includes having a severe weather kit for home and vehicle and creating an emergency plan/or updating your existing plan
Flooded Roadways: Never attempt to cross a flooded road on foot or in a vehicle. It only takes six inches of water to knock an adult off their feet, one foot of moving water can float a vehicle, and two feet of water can carry away most vehicles including pickup trucks and SUVs. Don’t chance it, find an alternative route! Turn Around Don’t Drown®.
