March 15-21 is Michigan’s Severe Weather Awareness Week
A statewide tornado drill scheduled is for 1 p.m. this Wednesday, March 18; sirens in Perry will sound.
Use this week as an opportunity to learn, plan and practice what to do in the event of a tornado or severe thunderstorm. Talk to your family about safe shelter locations, and how you’ll communicate if cellular networks are down or power is out.
