KY’s annual statewide tornado drill takes place today

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT)- Kentucky Emergency Management officials will conduct the Annual Kentucky Tornado Drill this morning as part of Kentucky’s Severe Weather Awareness Week.

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.

The National Weather Service also says this is a great time for residents to practice tornado safety plans to help prepare for the event of severe weather. Tornadoes in the region typically take place in April and May, but can happen during any month of the year.
