Tornadoes are extremely dangerous. Safe places include storm shelters and basements — but if not available, an interior room can also be protective. If you receive a tornado warning, take shelter immediately! #WeatherReady #NEwx #SWAW #IowaSWAW

Always have at least 3 ways of receiving severe weather warning information. These ways should include more than sirens, which were designed to only alert people outdoors and are NOT controlled by the NWS. #NEwx #SWAW #IowaSWAW

Para la Semana de Concientización sobre Tiempo Severo de Nebraska y Iowa, realizaremos un simulacro de tornado en todo el estado hoy en UNA hora a las 10:00 a. m. CDT. ¡Esta es una oportunidad para practicar su plan de tiempo severo! #NEwx #SWAW #IowaSWAW

Ahead of the 10 AM CDT Tornado Drill today, consider how you receive severe weather alerts. Do you get emergency information on your phone? Through local TV and radio? Where would you get information if you were at home or work or in your car traveling? #NEwx #SWAW #IowaSWAW

Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa continues tomorrow with the state-wide tornado drill at 10 AM.

What would you do to stay safe during a tornado warning?
