PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO IL 800 AM CST SUN MAR 3 2019
…March 3rd through March 9th is Severe Weather Preparedness Week in Illinois…
March 3rd through March 9th is severe weather preparedness week. Severe weather, in the form of tornadoes, lightning, flash floods, damaging winds, and destructive hail strikes Illinois each spring, summer, and fall, sometimes with incredible violence such as on April 9th 2015.
The Required Weekly Test will be conducted on Tuesday March 5th at 1000 AM CST, instead of Wednesday this week. A test tornado warning will not be conducted this year. However, a social media tornado drill will be conducted. This is an ideal time to review your severe weather procedures or conduct a tornado drill at your home, school, or place of business.
The National Weather Service is building a Weather-Ready Nation. The purpose of the Weather-Ready Nation initiative is to save lives and livelihoods. By increasing the nation's weather readiness, the country will be prepared to protect, mitigate, respond to, and recover from weather related disasters.
The NWS urges you to become a force of nature. Being a force of nature goes beyond taking appropriate preparedness action. It is about inspiring others to do the same. The NWS is asking people not only to be prepared, but also to encourage their social network to act by texting, Tweeting, or posting a Facebook status update.

The National Weather Service will bring you a series of informational messages this week, to better prepare you for the severe weather hazards that may threaten your safety.
