CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Severe Weather Awareness Week is held annually every third full week of March. https://weathersafety.ohio.gov/weather-safety/awareness-campaigns/severe-we… The Statewide Tornado Drill will be held on Wednesday, March 19 at 9:50 a.m. Ohioans are encouraged to participate in the drill and practice their emergency sheltering plans.

Schools, households, and businesses are also encouraged to practice their tornado drills and emergency plans. Tornado Watch - Be Prepared: When conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes. Be ready to move to a place of safety if the watch is upgraded to a warning or if threatening weather approaches. Tornado Warning - Take Action: When a tornado is imminent or has been sighted. Warnings indicate impending danger to life and property.
