In recognition of Tornado Awareness Week (March 31 through April 4), UNMC and NHS will participate in a statewide tornado awareness exercise Wednesday, April 2.
The exercise will consist of a mock tornado watch at 10 a.m., followed by a mock tornado warning at approximately 10:55 a.m. This exercise will not be held if severe weather is in the area. (The backup date is Thursday April 3). The watch and warning will expire on 11:30 a.m.
Douglas and Sarpy Counties will sound the Civil Defense Warning Sirens. Departments may determine their level of participation, however, at the very minimum, staff should review the departmental plan and determine where the shelter is located.
If you have any questions, contact John Hauser, safety operations, at 559-7315 or e-mail Jhauser@nhsnet.org.
