...TEST TORNADO DRILL THIS EVENING...

The state of Minnesota is conducting a test tornado drill today
at 6:45 p.m. The National Weather Service will be activating the
Routine Weekly Test code on NOAA Weather Radio. Many areas in the
state will activate their outdoor warning sirens as well as send
out text messages or emails for those who have signed up with
their county or city. Social media posts will also be sent. The
TOR code will not be used at all.

You may hear from local systems such as reverse 9-1-1 (if you
have signed up), outdoor warning sirens, NOAA weather radio, TV,
or others. Take the time now to decide where you would take
shelter. Remember to plan for the various places you may be if a
real warning occurs. Also make sure you have at least two ways to
get a warning. Outdoor Warning Sirens are not enough and may not
always activate or be heard. Get a NOAA Weather Radio. Sign up for
warning notices through your local county or city or phone.

The drill is part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota.
Remember it is just a test, to remind you of what you should do
if there was a real warning. For more information, check out our
website weather.gov, or our social media pages.
