Statewide Tornado Drill on Wednesday From Mike Keltner, Director Adair Co. Emergency Management The Kentucky Statewide Tornado Drill will be held at 9:07amCT on Wednesday, March 6, 2024. This would be a good time to practice your drill and plan with your business, family and friends. At this time the Adair County sirens will not be activated due to pending incoming weather and the consideration to avoid confusion with persons not aware of the drill. We conducted our regular siren test Yesterday, March 4, 2024. Q: Will the Tornado Drill set off the Emergency Alert System? A: Yes it will, including both NOAA Weather Radio, local TV and radio stations, and cable override. The one exception is in northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana, where the message will be sent as a Routine Weekly Test on NWR, per agreement with Cincinnati-area broadcasters. Q: Will the Tornado Drill set off the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) on my mobile phone? A: No. WEA will disregard the message because it is identified as a TEST. In a real Tornado Warning, WEA will recognize the "operational" code and activate as long as you don't have your alerts turned off. Q: Will the Tornado Drill set off the outdoor warning sirens? A: The decision to activate sirens (or not) is made by the Director of each County Emergency Management Agency. Q: Why not do the drill concurrently with the monthly siren test? A: Different counties test their sirens at different times. For example, while Jefferson County tests their sirens at noon on the second Tuesday of each month, neighboring Oldham County tests theirs at 10:30 AM the same day. The Statewide Tornado Drill is a coordinated exercise. Q: You said the Tornado Drill wouldn't set off the cell phones, so why did my phone alert me anyway? A: If you are set up to receive alerts through a third-party vendor, some of them may still push the message to your cell phone. Others might not. Q: Why didn't my Weather Radio go off? A: There are several possibilities. We'll address these individually...
Q: Will there be an evening tornado drill? A: Unfortunately, no there won't. Activating the EAS isn't something that we can do multiple times for a test/drill. But today is a good time to discuss what your tornado plan is at home, or wherever you happen to be in the evenings. And in the Louisville office, we will conduct our Tuesday evening Routine Weekly Test as usual, at 6 PM local time. Q: How do I program my weather radio with a SAME code? A: Find your county code using the NOAA Weather Radio links below and follow the programming instructions with your specific radio. This story was posted on 2024-03-05 19:26:04
