The second statewide tornado drill, set for 6:45 p.m. tonight (Thursday), has been canceled because of the threat of severe weather later this evening. This evening's tornado drill will not be rescheduled.
NOAA weather radios, mobile devices, and local media sounded earlier this afternoon during the annual drill as part of the Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week campaign.
Ready Wisconsin recommends that you create an emergency plan and practice it. You should know where designated shelters are located at home, work, and school. Always be ready to go there if your area has issued a tornado warning. Have your phone enabled to receive Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), and stay aware by keeping an eye on the weather forecast as you make plans.
