Severe Weather Preparedness Week

       Governor Mitch Daniels has proclaimed March 4 through 10, 2007 as Severe Weather Preparedness Week in Indiana.  The National Weather Service, in conjunction with the Indiana State Police, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, the Indiana School System, the Broadcast Media across Indiana, and Amateur Radio Operators will conduct a statewide test of communications systems on Wednesday, March 7 between 10:30am and 11:00am and again between 7:00pm and 7:30pm EST.

         The goal of severe weather preparedness week is to better educate people about the hazards of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, and to help everyone be prepared should severe weather occur.  More information can be found by visiting the National Weather Service web site HERE.

NOTE:  If inclement weather postpones the tests, the make-up drill day is Thursday, March 8 at the same times as listed above.
