The recent deadly tornado damage in Alabama – a storm that killed 23 – highlights the need for everyone in Indiana to be prepared for the potential of deadly storms this spring.
Indiana Severe Weather Preparedness Week runs this week (March 17-23). The Indiana Broadcasters Association (IBA) in cooperation with the National Weather Service (NWS) is conducting a test of the state Emergency Alert System (EAS) on Tuesday, March 19th at 10:15 a.m. (EDT). The test will include a Live Tornado Warning alert.
The 15-minute alert is done to ensure the system is working properly in the event of an actual tornado.
This Tuesday’s test is part of Severe Weather Preparedness Week and includes coordinated efforts to work with their residents, businesses, and government agencies across Indiana on preparedness activities.
In the event of severe or inclement weather, the test will be rescheduled and held on the morning of Wednesday, March 20th.
