Prepare Kansas

Severe Weather Awareness Week

March 7-11, 2022 has been designated as Severe Weather Preparedness Week by the National Weather Service.

The National Weather Service in Topeka will conduct a Tornado Drill @ 10am Tuesday, March 8th. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the drill by practicing seeking secure, safe shelter from a tornado.

Kansas State University meteorologist Chip Redmond reminds us that weather in Kansas can change pretty quickly, so it’s important to know what to do in any situation in order to remain safe.
