Adair County Emergency Management will be participating in the Kentucky Statewide Tornado Drill in Adair County on Wednesday, March 4, 2026 at 09:07 am CST.
This annual drill is conducted across the Commonwealth to help families, schools, businesses, and organizations practice what to do in the event of a tornado. Severe weather can develop quickly, and having a plan in place can save lives.
Why Participate?
✔️ Practice your severe weather safety plan
✔️ Identify your safe shelter location
✔️ Ensure weather alerts are working properly
✔️ Review emergency communication plans with your family
At-Home Safety Tips to Practice:
• Go to the lowest level of your home.
• Move to an interior room away from windows (bathroom, closet, hallway).
• Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible.
• Protect your head and neck with your arms, a helmet, or a sturdy object.
• Have a weather radio or reliable alert system ready.
Important Notice:
Due to the potential for severe weather in the area tomorrow, outdoor warning sirens will NOT be activated for this drill in Adair County.
We strongly encourage everyone to still participate by safely practicing your tornado safety plan at home, work, or school. Taking a few minutes to prepare today can make all the difference during a real emergency.
Stay weather aware and stay safe, Adair County.
