The drill will take place 10:07 AM EST/9:07 AM CST. The drill was originally set for Wednesday, but was changed due to severe weather. National Weather Service officials warn that the drill will set off the emergency alert system which includes NOAA weather radios, television and radio stations, and cable overrides. County Emergency Management Officials will make decisions about activating outdoor warning sirens locally throughout the Commonwealth.
