Just like last year, the National Weather Service (NWS) offices which serve Nebraska, will lead efforts to prepare via an annual tornado warning drill. Drill information follows:
● Date: Wednesday, March 25
● Time: 10:00 AM, CDT
● Method: The drill will be sent via NWS Weather Radio All-Hazards tone alert.
○ The NWS portion of the drill WILL NOT trigger phone notifications, media alerts, Wireless Emergency Alerts or virtually any other automatic notification systems.
○ If you have a weather radio, the drill will be identified as a “Routine Weekly Test” or RWT and likely sound the audible alarm.
● Participation: Participation is voluntary. However, many schools, businesses, cities and/or counties may participate. Contact the local Emergency Manager to find out if a city or county will participate and by what means
