Remember that it is a test. 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 always activate or be heard. Get a NOAA Weather Radio. Sign up for warning notices through your local county or city or phone. The drills are part of Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota. Remember they are just a test, to remind you of what you should do if there was a real warning.
