Severe Weather Preparedness Week Announced Statewide
Local Sources - To focus attention on the approaching tornado and severe weather season, the week of March
13-19, 2022 is designated Severe Weather Preparedness Week throughout the State of
Indiana.
The purpose is to stress the importance of promoting the public’s awareness of what
actions to take in case of tornadoes and other types of severe weather.
In conjunction with this, and in cooperation with the National Weather Service, the Indiana
Department of Homeland Security, the Indiana Department of Education and the Indiana State
Police, Tuesday, March 15, 2022 has been selected as the date for the Statewide Tornado
Exercise which will be initiated at approximately 10:15 a.m. (EDT).
Dubois County will be
participating in the upcoming exercise. Please make note that the sirens in the county will be
tested that day as well. Should actual severe weather be a threat that day, the exercise will be
held on March 17, 2022. There will be no evening exercise.
Participation in this annual exercise will help to improve your tornado preparedness and
severe storms awareness programs and plans.
The Dubois County Emergency Medical Agency's goal is to prevent, if possible, the potential
number of deaths and injuries from tornadoes and other severe storms this season.
