MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — It’s time for tornado drills around Wisconsin.
For Severe Weather Awareness Week, Wisconsin Emergency Management says drills are scheduled for 1:45 p.m. and again at 6:45 p.m this Thursday. During the drills, weather radios will display a test message if they are turned on, and some communities may test outdoor warning sirens.
A live code test of the Emergency Alert System won’t be included, and wireless emergency alerts won’t be sent to phones during the drills.
If there’s a real threat of severe weather in Wisconsin on Thursday, the drills will be moved to Friday unless that threat extends into Friday. In that case, the drills will be canceled.
