…TEST TORNADO DRILLS APRIL 11, 2024 AFTERNOON AND EVENING…
The state of Minnesota is conducting test tornado drills April 11 at 
1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. The drills are provided jointly by the Minnesota 
Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, the National 
Weather Service offices that serve both states, and numerous counties, 
cities, and tribal nations. Remember that it is a test. 

You may hear from local systems such as reverse 9-1-1 (if you have signed 
up), outdoor warning sirens, NOAA weather radio, TV, or others.  Take the 
time now to decide where you would take shelter. Remember to plan for the 
various places you may be if a real warning occurs. Also make sure you have 
at least two ways to get a warning. Outdoor Warning Sirens are not enough 
and may not always activate or be heard. Get a NOAA Weather Radio. Sign up 
for warning notices through your local county or city or phone. 
   
The drills are part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota. 
Remember they are just a test, to remind you of what you should do if there 
was a real warning. For more information, check out our website weather.gov, 
or our social media pages.
