Statewide Test of Tornado Sirens to Sound across Ohio Wednesday Morning

During the drill, sirens will be activated for a three minutes

Tornado sirens across the state will be activated this week as part of a yearly drill.

The drill coincides with Severe Weather Awareness Week (March 16-22). The awareness week is scheduled for the third week of March each year. 

At 9:50 a.m. on Wednesday, March 19, local communities can participate in a statewide tornado drill and test their emergency and sheltering plans. Ohio counties can use this time to sound and test their outdoor warning sirens and mass notification systems.
