As we’ve reported, a statewide tornado drill takes place at 10 a.m. today.

Adair and Guthrie County Emergency Management Coordinator Bob Kempf says it provides a great opportunity for area schools and businesses to test out their emergency preparedness plans. “It’s an excellent time for people to practice and see what’s in their plans actually works. You can see if sheltering works and see if you can communicate with everyone during the drill.”

Kempf will provide more safety tips for Severe Weather Awareness Week today on Let’s Talk Guthrie County. It airs during the 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. hours on K107.9 and www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
