Statewide Tornado Drill - Wednesday March 8, 2023 at 9:30 a.m.

Tornado Drill: on Wednesday March 8th, 2023 at 9:30 AM Rutherford County Emergency Management, in conjunction   with the National Weather Service, will participate in a statewide tornado drill. During this drill all Rutherford County severe weather sirens will be activated for a test. 

The alarm test, which will come in the form of a Regular Monthly Test, will activate the State Emergency Alert System and be carried by local radio broadcasters. Every school, business, and resident is encouraged to participate in the drill. 

Participation is simple. At 9:30 AM, take a few minutes to practice your severe weather system plan. Practice seeking shelter as if a tornado was headed your way.

An important factor in staying safe during a severe weather emergency is receiving life-saving information. Please share this notification with others you know so they will be aware.
