March 22-26 is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa
The Lee County Emergency Management Agency, Local Fire and law enforcement agencies, Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEMD), National Weather Service (NWS), and Iowa Emergency Management Association (IEMA) have joined together to promote Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa.
Severe Weather Awareness Week, March 22-26, is an opportunity to highlight the importance of being aware of, and prepared for, severe weather.
For each day during Severe Weather Awareness Week, a different subject will be featured:
• Monday – Severe thunderstorms
• Tuesday – Weather warnings
• Wednesday – Tornadoes
• Thursday – Family preparedness
• Friday – Flash floods
The annual statewide tornado drill will take place on Wed., March 24, beginning at 11 a.m. At this time Lee County agencies will test the outdoor warning systems. Schools, businesses, individuals, and state and local governments may participate, keeping in mind COVID-19 safety guidelines, including:
• Staying at least 6 feet from other people outside of your household in your shelter location if possible
• Wearing a mask
• Washing your hands often, cover coughs and sneeze
• Avoiding touching high-touch surfaces, such as handrails, as much as possible
These guidelines also apply if you must go to a public shelter or stay with family or friends during, or following, severe weather or other emergencies.
Severe Weather Awareness Week is a good time to review your family’s emergency plan and to check the contents of your emergency kit. Be sure to include in your emergency kit items you may need if you must shelter outside of your home, including masks, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes.

Additional information about the tornado drill can be found on local NWS websites.
