Statewide Tornado Drills
Thursday's emergency preparedness topic is tornados. Statewide tornado drills will take place on Thursday, April 16 at 1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. Outdoor warning sirens will sound in a simulated tornado warning. The 1:45 p.m. drill is intended for schools, businesses, and other organizations and will be observed by our district during the school day. The evening drill at 6:45 p.m. is intended for families and community members. This is a great opportunity for schools to review emergency plans with students and staff and encourage families to discuss severe weather safety and preparedness at home.
🚨 Severe Weather Awareness Week: April 13-17 🚨
Minnesota experiences an average of 28 tornadoes each year—making it more important than ever to stay prepared. This week is a great reminder to review emergency plans at home, school and in our community.
Each day focuses on a different safety topic:
🌩️ Mon: Weather Alerts & Warnings
⛈️ Tue: Severe Weather - Hail & Lightning
🌊 Wed: Flooding
🌪️ Thu: Tornadoes (Statewide Drills at 1:45 PM & 6:45 PM)
🔥 Fri: Heat Related Emergencies
Take time to prepare your family, check emergency plans, and participate in Thursday’s tornado drills. Being informed and ready helps keep everyone safe.
