Tip of the Week:

Minnesota Severe Weather Awareness Week is April 13 – 17.

According to the National Weather Service, Minnesota experiences an average of 40 tornadoes per year. In 2012, 37 twisters touched down. A record was set in 2010 with 104 tornadoes across the state.

Understanding this threat and knowing what to do when a tornado is approaching can save lives.

Take advantage of Severe Weather Awareness Week to review your own and your family’s emergency procedures and prepare for weather-related hazards.

Each day of the week will focus on a different topic:

•Monday — Alerts and Warnings

•Tuesday — Severe Weather, Lightning and Hail

•Wednesday — Floods

•Thursday — Tornadoes (with statewide tornado drills)

•Friday — Extreme Heat

Two of the most important events during Severe Weather Awareness Week are the annual statewide tornado drills when sirens across the state will sound off.  These drills are scheduled for Thursday, April 16 at 1:45 p.m. and 6:55 p.m.  Outdoor warning sirens and NOAA Weather Radios will sound in a simulated tornado warning.
