KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Kalamazoo County Office of Emergency Management and the Portage Department of Public Safety – Fire Division will participate in a statewide tornado drill on Wednesday, March 23 at 1 p.m.
This tornado drill is part of Severe Weather Awareness Week which runs from Sunday, March 20, to Saturday, March 26.
When the siren sounds or you get an alert during the Statewide Tornado Drill, take a moment to think:
• What will you do?
• Where will you go?
• Do you have a plan?
• Do you have a way to get alerts?
• How will you communicate?
Wherever you find yourself (especially outdoors), the time to answer these questions is during a drill, not when you are facing the real thing.
During Severe Weather Awareness Week, the Kalamazoo Office of Emergency Management and Portage Department of Public Safety will post severe weather awareness tips and topics to their Facebook pages. Tune in all week to learn about staying safe in severe weather. Visit www.michigan.gov/miready for more information.
