THE STATE OF MINNESOTA IS CONDUCTING TEST TORNADO DRILLS TODAY AT

SIGNED UP WITH THEIR COUNTY OR CITY. SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WILL ALSO
BE SENT.
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
