Severe Weather Awareness Week continues Tuesday with an emphasis on tornado safety.
The statewide tornado drill is coming at 10 am, but you won’t hear the sirens in Lyon County. Emergency Communications Director Roxanne VanGundy says concerns are raised each time the sirens are sounded outside of the regular weekly test at noon Monday, so Monday’s test serves the same purpose countywide as the statewide test.
Other area counties have announced they will be participating in the statewide test Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service and Lyon County Emergency Management Department are encouraging you to have a tornado safety plan in place for your home, workplace or travels.
Severe Weather Awareness Week continues with an emphasis on lightning safety Wednesday, hail and wind safety Thursday and flooding safety Friday. Lyon County’s annual storm spotter training session is Monday at 7 pm at the Bowyer Community Building.
