Statewide Tornado Drill is March 8

_*

If the warning sirens in your area went off tomorrow to signal that a 
tornado had been spotted, would you know what to do? Well, here is your 
chance to prepare. On March 8 at 10:07 EDT Kentucky Emergency Management 
will conduct its annual tornado drill. It’s only a test, but it’s a 
great chance to practice what you would do if this were a real event.

The statewide drill is one of the most important exercises you may ever 
participate in. Schools, offices, local emergency services, the media 
and citizens all across Kentucky will pretend there’s a real tornado on 
the way. Everyone gets an opportunity to test his or her preparedness plan.

"Sometimes folks may take a lighthearted approach to emergency drills. 
We hope this year they will give some serious thought to what they might 
do if there’s an actual event," says Larry Burnette, Assistant Director 
of the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management. "Doing this right 
during ‘dress rehearsal’ could easily save your life when the real thing 
comes along."

You can find out more about severe storm safety by contacting your local 
Emergency Management agency. Check your local phone directory or visit 
the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management on the web at 
http://kyem.dma.state.ky.us/.

We will be running a net on the 146.70 repeater,using the callsign 
WX4NWS at the Louisville National Weather Service, please give us a 
contact during this drill.
Thanks, Stu Kratz wx4me
