The Indiana Department of Homeland Security is urging Hoosiers to prepare ahead to protect themselves and their loved ones from dangerous storms during Severe Weather Preparedness Week in Indiana, which is being observed March 20-26 2016.
“Hoosiers are well aware that the arrival of spring brings with it an increased threat of tornadoes and thunderstorms,” said John Erickson, Director of Public Information at IDHS. “Last year, Indiana saw its share of severe weather, including tornadoes, floods and dangerous thunderstorms. So at this time of year we prepare for events we hope will never happen again, and learn what to do if severe weather strikes.”
State homeland security suggests that Hoosier households break their severe weather preparation into three parts, planning, preparing and practicing.
Participate in the Statewide Tornado Drill on Tuesday, March 22, at 10:15 a.m. EDT and 7:35 p.m. EDT. These drills provide an excellent opportunity for families, schools, and businesses to practice their weather safety action plan.
