MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — There will be no statewide tornado drills today.
Wisconsin Emergency Management cancelled the annual drills in light of recent severe weather that has impacted communities across Wisconsin. There will not be an alternative date for these drills.
The decision comes as emergency management, local agencies, and residents are responding and recovering from the recent storms. ReadyWisconsin determined proceeding with the scheduled drills would place additional strain on already stretched resources.
You’re encouraged to stay informed about tornado safety, review personal emergency plans, and remain vigilant year-round for potential severe weather and tornadoes. Resources and guidance can be found at https://readywisconsin.wi.gov/tornadoes/.
