WKU will participate in the statewide tornado safety drill on Wednesday (March 2). At approximately 9:07 a.m. (Central time), WKU will test its emergency communications network, including the outdoor warning speakers and emergency text messaging system.
This is an informational drill only and WKU will maintain normal activities during this test. As part of 2022 Severe Weather Awareness Week March 1-7, the statewide tornado drill is conducted in partnership with the National Weather Service (NWS), Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM), the Kentucky Weather Preparedness Committee (KWPC), and Kentucky Broadcasters Association. Across Kentucky, outdoor warning sirens will sound, weather alert radios will activate and television and radio stations will broadcast the alert, along with mobile devices.
Members of the WKU community are encouraged to use this drill as an opportunity to learn where to seek shelter on campus and also to make sure they are signed up for emergency text alerts through TopNet.
Information on severe weather, tornado preparedness and how to sign up for WKU text alerts is available on the Campus Safety at WKU page and on the WKU Emergency and Weather-Related Communications page.
