Statewide Tornado Drill on Wednesday, March 1

From Mike Keltner, Director
Adair Co. Emergency Management

The Kentucky statewide tornado drill will be conducted at 9:07amCT on Wednesday, March 1, 2023.

Adair County E-911 will be activating the outdoor warning sirens, which will serve in place of our monthly test for March. County and City responders will be participating in the drill and emergency tones with the drill message will go out over agency communications. (Both the outdoor siren activation and responder agency drill may be delayed or cancelled if an actual emergency exists)

The Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alert System will NOT be activated, however NOAA Weather Radios will be activated during the test. This drill is a great time to hold a drill to test emergency preparedness at any venue.

What do outdoor warning sirens mean?

  • Tornado sirens are for OUTDOOR warning purposes! They are not meant to be heard indoors or to wake you up.
  • Hearing a tornado siren is a signal to get indoors and seek additional information.
  • When sirens stop, it does not mean the severe weather threat is over!
  • Sirens are activated by city or county officials, not the National Weather Service.
