Attention all who live or work in Virginia: Statewide TORNADO DRILL tomorrow 3/15 0945

Tornado Preparedness:

When it comes to tornadoes, there's no such thing as a "tornado season." Tornadoes can strike anywhere, anytime, and you need to know the drill. There are simple, low-cost steps families can take to be ready: get a kit, make a plan and stay informed. Visit the Ready Virginia Web site for more about these three important steps.

It’s really important to practice tornado safety by holding a drill in your home, workplace and school. Plan now to take part in the 2011 Statewide Tornado Drill, set for Tuesday, March 15, 2011, at 9:45 a.m.

The City of Manassas is a registered participant in the statewide tornado drill. Practice and discuss in your office and home where you would go and what you would do in the event of an actual tornado striking Manassas. Talk to your friends and family members to get a kit, make a plan and stay informed!

Please be aware that Manassas Alert will activate tomorrow morning at 0945 announcing a tornado in the area…THIS WILL ONLY BE A DRILL. Should there be an actual local weather emergency it will be clearly announced.
